MichaelC: there is note that went privately to richardschwerdtfeger and me
16:58:42 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: I'm going to forward it to the list
17:01:02 [clown]
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/action-1488/aria/aria.html#aria-setsize
17:02:29 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: suffix with a + sign to indicate the setsize is at least that amount
17:03:20 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: where do you map the +?
17:04:46 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: AT's have to handle this too
17:04:59 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: they can't announce percentage of progress
17:05:19 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: for the + syntax, we have to change it from an integer to a string
17:06:08 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: how big of an issue is this? (for API's)
17:06:18 [clown]

https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/397
17:06:39 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: we can do, no question
17:06:59 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: you can put it in the spec, but it's at risk if we can't find mappings
17:07:29 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: the apple platform does not have a object mapping
17:07:44 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: James Craig is not against it
17:08:01 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: is it mapped to AXValue?
17:08:21 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: oh it's AXARIASetSize
17:08:53 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: to me this comes down to an API mapping issue
17:09:31 [MichielBijl]
If an unknown set size exceeds a known and meaningful amount, authors may append a plus sign ("+") to the value to communicate the set size is at least that amount. Otherwise, authors should set the value of aria-setsize to -1.
17:09:47 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: are people okay with this?
17:10:34 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: Cynthia said the IE team likes the setsize="-1" notation
17:11:58 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: that to me means that they don't like the + notation

https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/action-1488/aria/aria.html#progressbar
17:13:32 [MichielBijl]
If the progressbar is describing the loading progress of a particular region of a page, the author SHOULD use aria-describedby to point to the status, and set the aria-busy attribute to true on the region until it is finished loading
17:15:12 [MichielBijl]
jamesn: prefer to say we have at least X
17:16:03 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: does anyone object to setsize="-1"?
17:17:37 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: the resolution is that we will specify an indeterminate by setting setsize to -1
17:17:57 [MichielBijl]
RESOLUTION: we will specify an indeterminate by setting setsize to -1
17:19:12 [richardschwerdtfeger]
RESOLUTION: We will not be supporting set sizes 999+ for sizes of at least that size for ARIA 1.1

action-1498
17:19:57 [trackbot]
action-1498 -- Joanmarie Diggs to Draft "term" role (related to html dfn/dt elements) in addition to the 1.0 "definition" (equiv to html dd element) -- due 2015-07-30 -- PENDINGREVIEW
17:19:57 [trackbot]
https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1498
17:20:50 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: using the term role on a link will mean that the link role is lost
17:20:51 [clown]
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/action-1498/aria/aria.html#term
17:21:37 [richardschwerdtfeger]
[ARIA 1.1] A word or phrase with a corresponding definition. See related definition.
17:21:38 [richardschwerdtfeger]
The term role is used to explicitly identify a word or phrase for which a definition has been provided by the author or is expected to be provided by the user.
17:21:38 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Authors SHOULD NOT use the term role on interactive elements such as links because doing so could prevent users of assistive technologies from interacting with those elements.
17:22:57 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: the problem is, we had a definition role, but no term role
17:23:45 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: we need a link to definition in the second paragraph
17:24:17 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: the term is interactive, and if you click it the definition shows
17:25:14 [MichielBijl]
janina: I like that clicking the term shows the definition
17:25:56 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: what we're saying is that the definition must immediately follow the term
17:26:00 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: it's like dt an dd
17:26:29 [clown]
s/dt an dd/dt and dd/
17:26:31 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: do we need a definition list role?
17:27:15 [clown]
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/action-1498/aria/aria.html#definition
17:27:44 [MichielBijl]
jongund: why not use term and term-item?
17:28:27 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: role definition should have a aria-labelledby on it
17:28:40 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: then should it be in a list? You can have it anywhere
17:32:25 [MichielBijl]
jongund: could I use an aria-label on the definition?
17:32:50 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: you cannot because you don't have a visual link between the term and the definition
17:33:03 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: the term and the definition don't have to be side by side
17:34:36 [MichielBijl]
fesch: what happens when you have multiple definitions pointed to the same term
17:34:55 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: that is allowed with dt's and dd's in the HTML spec
17:35:00 [joanie]
regrets+ Joanmarie_Diggs
17:37:57 [richardschwerdtfeger]
Proposal: we accept Joanie’s text for action 1498 with the caviat that the second paragraph link the definition text with the definition role and that in the definition role the aria-labelledy SHOULD point to an element with a role of “term”
17:39:24 [MichielBijl]
MichielBijl: mgylling: what about aria-describedBy on the term?
17:39:30 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: you could do that
17:39:37 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: the author could screw up
17:39:54 [MichielBijl]
mgylling: I wasn't saying we should have both, just wondering
17:41:21 [richardschwerdtfeger]
RESOLUTION: Accept Rich’s proposal and jave Joanie make the changes and close out action 1498 and the associated issue
17:41:54 [MichielBijl]
action-1657
17:41:54 [trackbot]
action-1657 -- Joanmarie Diggs to Make aria-level a required attribute for role=“heading” -- due 2015-06-25 -- PENDINGREVIEW
17:41:54 [trackbot]
https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1657
17:42:18 [clown]
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#heading
17:42:41 [MichielBijl]
Where it states: "If headings are organized into a logical outline, the aria-level attribute can be used to indicate the nesting level."
17:42:54 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: all we have to do, is make it a required attribute
17:43:13 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: it's required in the characteristics table
17:43:54 [clown]
https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#heading
17:44:36 [MichielBijl]
A heading for a section of the page.
17:44:36 [MichielBijl]
Often, heading elements will be referenced with the aria-labelledby attribute of the section for which they serve as a heading. If headings are organized into a logical outline, the aria-level attribute is used to indicate the nesting level.
17:45:11 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: resolution: accept joanie's trunk
17:45:28 [MichielBijl]
s/trunk/text
17:46:18 [MichielBijl]
RESOLUTION: accept joanie's text, and close the action and issue

issue-736
17:46:38 [trackbot]
issue-736 -- aria-label overriding listitem and treeitem content when need to know content is valuable -- open
17:46:38 [trackbot]
https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/736
17:47:53 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: in other words, the content is important
17:48:13 [clown]
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2015Jul/0097.html
17:48:23 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: how do you think we should approach this one?
17:48:30 [clown]
http://clown.idrc.ocad.ca/Fluid/aria/ListItemsWithLabels.html
17:48:38 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: I setup a use case, with and without an aria-label
17:49:23 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: if you put a label on it, the name is changed, but the content is still available in AI2 and ??
17:49:47 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: by putting an aria-label on it should the content be ignored?
17:49:58 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: take a look at my usecase
17:51:26 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: what if the additional content inside the list item is important?
17:51:35 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: it's still available
17:51:53 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: but how do users know that they should drill into the list item?
17:52:36 [MichielBijl]
bgaraventa1979: we have the same problem with aria grid, if you have a grid cell with a list with 200+ items; you don't want all that information to be announced
17:52:58 [MichielBijl]
bgaraventa1979: there is no limit to how much content you can stuff into a list item
17:54:01 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: would you want to know if the content inside has additional value?
17:54:52 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: if you don't put the label on, the name is taken from the content
17:54:54 [MichielBijl]
jamesn: that is in the spec
17:55:14 [MichielBijl]
jamesn: if it's the same content, it's an author error; not our problem, right?
17:55:32 [MichielBijl]
bgaraventa1979: if you put aria-label on it, AT hides the content
17:55:40 [MichielBijl]
jamesn: that is how it's supposed to be
17:57:06 [MichielBijl]
Joseph: the AT hides the content, it's available in the a11y API's
17:57:41 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: I'd like people to think about this for a week
17:58:34 [MichielBijl]
jamesn: a tweet is a good example, you want the author and tweet text to be announced at the list item level; you don't want the reply, etc buttons announced
17:58:47 [MichielBijl]
richardschwerdtfeger: let's take this up next week
