Think this is positive. Generally not supportive of aria-label as much as we already have alt. I beleive alt text should be available to low-vision users and users with cognitive imparments 21:16:28 JA: title I am very much against as the html spec says it is advisory information for these elements. 21:16:33 JA: this is pretty much it 21:16:44 +1 ti title comment by A 21:16:51 JA 21:16:56 JA: if i had to pick a choice - i would side with something which didn't require aly 21:17:16 JA: I would like to see a matrix of current support.

We are in a fuzzy area with poor accessibility support for other than screen readers. Need a little bit of leeway for this discussion 21:22:54 s/habving/having 21:23:46 AWK: To add to Joshs framing, is we are trying to figure out the classic a11y support question 21:23:47 q= 21:23:50 AWK: key question is the classic accessibility support question. When is a technology sufficientlyready? 21:23:55 q+ 21:24:11 AWK: easy when you have something that works everywhere all the time 21:24:52 AWK: NVDA have indiciated that they will have fixes by their may realease on IE. 21:25:07 s/indiciated/indicated 21:25:24 s/realease/release 21:25:31 AWK: if we put the same level of thought to some things we miught be suprised at the level of support we see 21:25:43 Zakim, queue? 21:25:43 I see Ryladog on the speaker queue 21:25:53 s/miught/might 21:25:56 AWK: part of the reason that the E&O WG suggested we provide strong cautionary statements 21:26:38 AWK: there is a question about how technoligy gets built - if folks want to experiment then they can 21:26:42 ack ryla 21:26:56 s/technoligy/technology 21:27:14 KHS: I agree we want to pus the aoption of aria.

Regarding SRs, I understand alt not being displayed with images off. 21:30:48 Zakim, queue? 21:30:48 I see AWK, Loretta on the speaker queue 21:30:49 JN: Aside from that where is support lacking? 21:30:51 ack awk 21:31:22 AWK: one fo the tings that is worth thinking about too is are there uses of web technolofy where there is very solid support. 21:31:27 q+ to say I also disagree with this killing alt 21:31:42 AWK: for example when creating a mobile application on iOS or Android - the support seems very very solid 21:32:12 s/technolofy/technology 21:32:14 AWK: some issues with IE10 + JAWS13 - but later versions of jAWS seem to be doing better 21:32:22 s/fo the tings/of the things 21:32:30 Related to someones comment that we SHOULDNT be worried about accessibility support, working group is tracking the accessibility support status of techniques, which is not an appropriate expectation to be setting." I think we absolutly *do* need to do this - it is why we update the techniques/understanding as new technologies are coming on board. If we do it for technologies - that means we include OS/UA/and*AT*. 21:32:44 AWK: KHS comment that is it the role of the WG to be tracking accessibility support. My concern is that it is a tremendous amount of work to do that 21:32:59 +1 to Ryladog 21:33:16 AWK: developers should be paying attention to accessibility support on their project and to make compiance statement based on that 21:33:19 q+ 21:33:44 AWK: may be a better use of our time to encourgae developers to make wise decisions 21:34:04 s/encourgae/encourage 21:34:09 ack loretta 21:34:09 Loretta, you wanted to disagree that this kills alt 21:34:14 KHS: why don't we just leave stuff alone rather than update stuff. 21:34:25 LGR: we generally don't update stuff like this 21:35:17 KHS: if we release something tomorrow that does not require alt will some people not have to pay to upgrade? 21:35:18 ack me 21:35:19 Joshue, you wanted to say I also disagree with this killing alt 21:35:26 ack lor 21:35:31 -James_Nurthen 21:36:09 +James_Nurthen 21:36:51 Loretta and Josh say that they don't think that this is about killing alt 21:36:53 LGR & JOC: want to say that we are not killing alt 21:37:26 JOC: may be cases where aria is a better solution and alt is not possible 21:38:19 JOC: user agent support. Something we should be doing but who is going to do it. The accessibility support DB from Shadi may do some of this work. Once that is there it is an option which may work 21:38:48 KHS: agree that i don't see people killing alt 21:39:08 Zakim, queue? 21:39:08 I see jamesn on the speaker queue 21:39:10 KHS: people being left behind bothers me 21:39:15 Ack james 21:39:32 JN: My aim is to ensure that people aren't penalised if they have done things that work. 21:40:18 JN: Its more important to make the failure work - I'd be happy if something doesn't fail if they have provided an accessible name, without provision of a positive technique. 21:40:46 Zakim, queue? 21:40:46 I see no one on the speaker queue 21:40:50 Zakim, mute me 21:40:50 Joshue should now be muted 21:41:28 AWK: 21:41:43 ack me 21:42:47 LGR: I think Stefan is arguing that we should be allowing aria and not casting something in stone which would obstruct this 21:43:03 JN: Yes 21:43:14 JN: @alt is still required in HTML. 21:43:40 AWK: validating for WCAG is a differnt check 21:43:45 zakim, unmute me 21:43:45 kerstin_probiesch should no longer be muted 21:44:01 Zakim, mute me 21:44:01 Joshue should now be muted 21:44:02 -adam_solomon 21:44:04 AWK: kerstin's comment is that aria is a good thing and the price here is too high 21:45:21 KP: did some screen reader testing today with NVDA + IE11 and support not there 21:45:39 AWK: NVDA + IE is not a very common use case 21:45:51 AWK: Jamie stated they will have this fixed by May 21:46:11 zakim, mute me 21:46:11 kerstin_probiesch should now be muted 21:46:26 AWK: if you say should it means doesn't have to 21:46:33 zakim, mute me 21:46:33 Joshue was already muted, Joshue108 21:47:02 zakim, queue? 21:47:02 I see no one on the speaker queue 21:47:08 KA: it is the "in addition to" instead of "instead of" 21:47:31 KA: if i were to rewite I would change the word should 21:47:51 AWK: Alastair is suggesting being more conservative 21:48:27 AWK: Sailesh also in support of option 1 - requiring alt eith minor edits 21:48:56 AWK: answers to questions 21:49:03 AWK: point 1 - no it doesn't 21:49:17 AWK: point 2 - agree this seems to need changing 21:49:28 AWK: point 3 - find that confusing 21:49:45 LGR: 2 parts. Is there accessibility support or is there not 21:50:10 LGR: I understand the motivation to explain what the WG is thinking but should keep the WG out of the techniques 21:50:33 LGR: discussion about a11y support belongs in the UA notes 21:51:00 LGR: if we want to require alt on the elements which support alt then we may want to break this in half 21:51:18 LGR: should perhaps put more explanation about these in here 21:51:35 +q 21:51:48 LGR: if we do that then labelledby with an image becomes advisroy becuase we are saying it is not sufficient 21:52:10 LGR: even if we look at the current state of things there are people with older versions 21:52:22 KHS: this is vital 21:52:35 LGR: i would hope all the wcag techniques are vital 21:53:01 LGR: here there is an easy alternative and others may not have them 21:53:30 LGR: If we say they must provide alt then authors will not provide aria-labelledby as there is no point in them doing so 21:53:34 ack me 21:53:40 Zakim, queue? 21:53:40 I see no one on the speaker queue 21:54:38 q+ 21:54:48 JOC: I am very concerned about things I see in my day job.

Maybe not in this iteration 21:54:49 ack ryla 21:55:07 KHS: I have no interest in not supporting aria but want to additionaly require alt 21:55:12 s/advisroy/advisory 21:55:22 LGR: don't need to.

Will make AT vendors look and see that they don't need to pay attention to aria-labelledby as there is always alt 21:57:56 If the understanding by *all* is that ALT will be retired than tool makeers and devlopers can build their stuff appropriately 21:58:26 AWK: someone that is creating a site or ann application is supposed to do their due dilignece.
