16:07:47 … Preliminary feedback from implementors is that they do not foresee any problems.
16:08:02 … Implementors expect to be working on tests for the new features.

16:10:14 Topic: Alt Guidance
16:10:35 zakim, mute me
16:10:35 Mark_Sadecki should now be muted
16:10:39 JS: Two discussions going - one on usemap which seems to have clear consensus on call but different from email discussion emerging.
16:11:12 … asked people to put their views into email, not sure how many people did and if we are ready for Call for Consensus. Steve, what do you think we should do next?
16:11:33 SF: Only response i saw was John Foliot, still no clarity on what the appropriate alternative is.
16:11:46 … I need to revisit and respond to some stuff.
16:12:48 … seems to be a lack of understanding still.
16:12:50 q?

16:13:55 q+\
16:13:58 JS: Conversation will keep going, expect we will get to a resolution. Since HTML is getting closeto closing its other bugs, we'd like to reach our consensus son too.
16:14:05 q- \
16:14:09 q+ paulc
16:14:14 q+
16:14:23 JS: I still have to respond on a bug too.
16:14:30 … hopefully today.
16:15:50 SF: Was a related bug to yours asking for indications of chart types, which is done - that part closed. What is outstanding is general advice on when indications should be used e.g. to say that an image is a pie chart. Have done itin the examples but haven't provided authoring guidance - the "why"...
16:16:01 JS: There is a joint task force between PF and WCAG working on this.
16:16:46 … If there are things that need authoring guidance, the WCAG techniques for HTML5 group should be dealing with it - so they'd appreciate being told if there is something they should be looking at
16:17:17 ACTION: SteveF to tell James Nurthen about the outstanding issues on imagemaps
16:17:17 Created ACTION-226 - Tell james nurthen about the outstanding issues on imagemaps [on Steve Faulkner - due 2014-01-23].
16:17:26 q?
16:17:28 DM: Outstanding question on figure element.
16:17:51 … Want to align WCAG and HTML5, and there are concerns about how the figure element will work.
16:18:22 … e.g. is having figcaption replace alt OK? (And what about other replacements).
16:18:43 JS: Can you provide a pointer?
16:18:48 If we finish the image map work and the bug mentioned by Janina, what will be the status of the material in http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html-alt-techniques-20121025/ ?
16:18:50 ack pa
16:19:13 PC: There is my question about heartbeats, but what about the alt-techniques document?
16:19:35 JS: SteveF? Judy?
16:19:58 JB: WAI coordination group is having meetings to talk about guidance on alt and what documents we want.
16:20:56 … Trying to fine tune if there are mismatches in guidance being given. Expect to address in a couple of weeks the question of what documents we actually want to have once everything is updated and aligned.
16:21:15 … So a final status is not clear yet, but longer term hope is that the document will be absorbed into others.
16:21:36 figcaption replacing alt http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Jan/0020.html
16:21:39 … question is whether all the other things have come together with updated content.
16:22:27 SF: For HTML 5.1 spec there are still some bugs that I expect to resolve soon - nothing seems problematic.
16:22:37 JS: Intention is to backport those changes, right?
16:22:39 test figure element results http://davidmacd.com/test/figure.html
16:22:56 SF: Yes. In any case it is editorial content. SHouldn't need masses of conversation.
16:23:31 … only important issue left is usemap.
16:23:54 q?
16:24:22 PC: Assume that is bug 21579
16:24:25 Is that bug https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21579?
16:24:50 or is it https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24182?
16:25:42 SF: The former.
16:26:03 PC: So once 21579 is done there are no more alt-related changes required to the CR version of HTML?
16:26:10 q+ DavidM
16:26:11 q+
16:26:25 q+
16:26:29 PC: There are no other bugs. So if that isn't the case, we need bugs filed.
16:26:33 ack da
16:26:51 q+
16:27:04 DM: The figcaption issue has come up in the last couple of weeks, and doesn't appear to provide a replacement for alt. So looking at whether we should file a bug.
16:27:22 s/replacement/working replacement/
16:28:15 q?
16:28:17 JS: Because we want to backport changes to 5.1 into 5.0 we should look carefully at the bugs that we have fixed for 5.1 and make sure we've checked them all. As far as I know that hasn't happened yet.
16:28:20 q+
16:28:20 ack ja
16:28:21 ack jan
16:28:23 ack le
16:28:26 ack lj
16:28:44 LJW: There are still bugs against 5.0 which have been resolved but aren't checked yet.
16:28:59 JS: We need to make HTML bugs a high priority overall.
16:29:22 q?
16:29:29 ack st
16:29:46 … check that we are happy with resolutions to accessibility bugs and any fixes we want to backport form 5.1 to 5.0
16:30:00 FYI: 207 open HMLT 5.1 bugs are listed at http://tinyurl.com/mh5ax3j
16:30:21 q+
16:30:33 SF: David's issue sounds like a potential suggestion to change normative advice on figcaption, which was resolved earlier. Not sure I agree with the statements about what happens in regard to alt attributes.
16:31:34 … The spec doesn't remove alt, it allows an alternative where alt cannot be provided. There is also the question of where implementation is - one browser implements, no Assistive Technology does.
16:32:05 David's 5.1 bug is Bug 24311 - figcaption does not currently replace alt - https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24311
16:32:12 ack p
16:32:33 JS: Sounds like "this is something you can do if alt cannot be added", not a statement that you can skip using alt
16:32:52 q+
16:32:57 I have to drop folks. Mark or Paul were on the canvas call so they know where it sits. really good progress.
16:33:09 PC: Note that editorial team does go through the 5.1 bugs and check if they need to be fixed in HTML5 CR - but they are primarily concerned with editorial, not making technical decisions.
16:33:10 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/embedded-content-0.html#when-a-text-alternative-is-not-available-at-the-time-of-publication
16:33:46 -Rich_Schwerdtfeger
16:33:59 JB: Unaware that figcaption came up again. Talked to Mark about it, looking at some issues about HTML 5.1
16:34:37 … agreed not to pursue a concern over 5.0, some time ago. Want to revisit whether what we have is what we thought our agreement was.
16:35:49 q?
16:35:58 … Pending issue for areas where what is used as a caption would not be an apprpriate alt, so cannot replace it. But we found it difficult to express the circumstances in which this is or isn't an appropriate thing. As far as I know we haven't got this in a bug but are planning to do so for 5.1
16:36:03 ack ju
16:36:25 this is the related section http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/embedded-content-0.html#when-a-text-alternative-is-not-available-at-the-time-of-publication
16:36:41 DM: Don't want to go back over old issues. I think I should review the specific content, as posted by SteveF
16:37:15 SF: There is only one case - single image, figcaption, and no alt. The advice is to use alt whenever possible.
16:37:36 s/the circumstances in which/the threshold of numbers of words [or characters] for which/
16:37:40 DM: Seems clear. There is a slippery slope towards just dropping accessibility...
16:38:16 SF: Understand that, but don't want to open it up again at this stage. But we would be better off if we can see implementations.
16:38:32 … There is still a handful of things to be implemented, this is one of them.
