- awk: general idea is that F3 and whether we should have a change to the procedure to indicate that it's about when the image is not displayed, and that the image is accounted for programatically
- 16:29:02 [jnurthen]
- can we change line "For all images added to the content via CSS, HTML style attributes, or dynamically in script as background images:" to "For all background images added to the content via CSS, HTML style attributes, or dynamically in script:"
- 16:29:13 [Joshue108]

- awk: no change for current round. this proposed change would be in the sept release
- 16:34:16 [jon_avila]
- I agree it's better to keep the two concepts separate as lack of alternative applies to 1.1.1 and another HC issue possiblies to 1.3.1
- 16:34:40 [jon_avila]
- I would be ok with leaving the comment open and making the change
- 16:34:52 [Sarah_Swierenga]

- awk: any objections:
- 16:41:57 [jon_avila]
- sure, but I'd also like some clarification on AT
- 16:42:03 [Joshue108]
- A la Jons point High Contrast (OS level) is AT. just not 'off the shelf' etc - we should park this for future UA/WCAG work IMo.
- 16:42:15 [shorton]
- I am also concerned with the use of "assistive technology"
- 16:42:45 [shorton]
- I agree that it's not okay
- 16:43:16 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- michaelc: have loosened the requirements, which could be an issue with interpretation
- 16:43:51 [Joshue108]
- SS: I think it is a 1.1.1 issue.
- 16:43:59 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- awk: want to clarify that while the bground image topic is an issue 1.1.1, but the contrast issue
- 16:44:05 [Joshue108]
- SS: I suggest leave it where it is and produce another one.
- 16:44:07 [Joshue108]
- AWK: Why
- 16:44:17 [Joshue108]
- SS: Its a non text content that has no alternative.
- 16:44:17 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- sarah: this is a 1.1.1 issue - non-text content that doesn't have an alternative
- 16:44:32 [Joshue108]
- AWK: If you have background image with a text alt via aria label.
- 16:44:44 [Joshue108]
- AWK: Then it would pass, which you are talking about.
- 16:45:11 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- sarah: would provide a visible text alternative - replacement
- 16:45:14 [Joshue108]
- SS: The way I would do this is to prove a visible text alt, as a replacement.
- 16:45:20 [Joshue108]
- AWK: Thats fine but not the only one.
- 16:45:41 [Joshue108]
- SS: Its still a text alt to an image. Its not just about programmatic alternatives.
- 16:45:54 [Joshue108]
- SS: the use of the term AT does imply that those with AT will have access.
- 16:46:03 [Joshue108]
- SS: What about those without AT?
- 16:46:03 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- shorton: still a text alternative to an image, but still a programatic and visual for those not using AT
- 16:46:27 [Joshue108]
- s/SS/shorton
- 16:46:41 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- awk: does replacement have to use text?
- 16:46:45 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- shorton: no
- 16:46:48 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- awk:
- 16:47:23 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- awk: then it's not 1.1.1
- 16:48:10 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- shorton: still ambiguity - need more investigation
- 16:48:45 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- awk: then we should leave this open for now.

- katie: using html according to spec, then in cases where there are differences with other html version, we would identify that specifically

- 16:58:36 [yatil]
- +1 to JF & Katie
- 16:58:57 [AWK]
- Current: At the time this technique was published, the appropriate versions of these technologies is HTML 5 and XHTML 1.0. HTML 5 is the latest mature version of HTML, which provides specific accessibility features and is widely supported by user agents. XHTML 1.0 provides many of the same features as HTML 5, but unlike HTML 5 it is not being currently maintained.
- 16:59:02 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- katie: we need common languages for all of these situations, except where the versioning makes a difference
- 16:59:19 [david_000]
- can do it now...
- 16:59:33 [Sarah_Swierenga]

- 17:01:48 [david_000]
- How about this: The latest mature version of HTML is the best way to provide specific accessibility features that are widely supported by user agents. It is best to stay up to date with the latest version.
- 17:02:06 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- wayne: the xhtml is very important because of epubs groups that will be looking to wcag. the extensions have to be compatible with xhtml.
- 17:02:16 [Ryladog]
- Use HTML/XHTML according to specification supported in your environment.
- 17:03:04 [david_000]

- 17:04:57 [JF]
- suggest: The latest mature version of HTML (or related markup language) - ??
- 17:05:12 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- awk: the goal of the technique is to say that if you use html according to spec, there is a benefit to doing so, e.g. addressing the parsing issue
- 17:05:45 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- awk: one option is to replace the entire paragraph with david's sentences or first sentence (with minor edit)

- Q+
- 17:18:13 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- kathy: images aren't meant to be read, but 3:1 color contrast ratio for icons, since they are usually bigger
- 17:18:37 [Wayne]
- q+
- 17:18:55 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- kathy: usually does this based on size, since they are usually larger
- 17:19:52 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- awk: my take - right now graphical info that is not text is not currently covered. would be hard to defend a different position.
- 17:20:00 [yatil]
- I think that UI contrast should be covered somehow. I usually shoot for a 4.5:1 ratio.
- 17:20:23 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- kathy: number of considerations, and does agree that it isn't currently under WCAG
- 17:20:47 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- laura: suggest referring to low vision task force
- 17:21:03 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- michaelc: there are multiple threads that need to be parsed out
- 17:21:43 [Joshue108]
- q?
- 17:21:47 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- michaelc: don't want to confound issues. let's address them piece by piece to cover the whole problem, but not beyond.

- 17:22:49 [AWK]
- I think that when Kathy said "larger" she meant "large-scale" e.g. equivalent to 18pt+
- 17:23:16 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- JF: wants to push back - icon is meant to be read. what are they usually bigger than? icons tend to be actionable, so just like text they would need to be contained inside a size threshold.

- q+ to ask about techniques for icon fonts
- 17:24:48 [david_000]
- 1.4.3 applies to any font including icon fonts as long as they are text characters
- 17:25:47 [AWK]
- WCAG defines text as sequence of characters that can be programmatically determined, where the sequence is expressing something in human language
- 17:25:52 [Sarah_Swierenga]
- wayne: spec should change when technology changes and icon text is being used to talk now.
- 17:25:59 [MichaelC]
- q+ to say requirements on the visual presentation of icons is one thing; requirements *because they are implemented as a font* is a different issue and is more for techniques
