agendum 5. "CSS -- Updates and Next Steps" taken up [from janina]
16:25:57 [fesch]
js: flexbox what is our next steps, we need to formally figure out where APA stands... will APA object? Or left up to individual companies?
16:26:32 [fesch]
js: we will help develop another AAM...
16:26:58 [fesch]
js: MC will make a stub document to collect issues from CSS
16:27:35 [fesch]
js: at a minimum flexbox should mention that they should implement an AAM, even if one doesn't yet exist,
16:28:23 [fesch]
js: CSS has said they would write best practices... what is our (APA) bottom line, noting we want to avoid an objection, want to know what our red lines ares
16:29:11 [fesch]
js: what are our red lines? We may want to have minutes, but even a survey to +1/-1 or comment on a position
16:29:12 [janina]
q?
16:30:28 [MichaelC]
-> https://github.com/w3c/aria/blob/master/css-aam/css-aam.html Stub of CSS-AAM
16:30:29 [fesch]
jd: I would love an AAM style spec for CSS, there are various things the user agent is taking their best guess - at what the author is trying to do
16:30:44 [fesch]
jd: CSS should be able to tell AT how to expose stuff
16:30:58 [Rich]
q+
16:31:20 [fesch]
js: we may have a time issue, but we may need to find the problem spots...
16:31:50 [MichaelC]
rrsagent, make minutes
16:31:50 [RRSAgent]
I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2016/04/27-apa-minutes.html MichaelC
16:31:52 [fesch]
rs: I agree with all that, CSS needs someone working with us...
16:31:56 [MichaelC]
q+
16:32:23 [MichaelC]
ack r
16:32:24 [fesch]
rs: best practices aren't sufficient, they need to suggest what will happen for AT...
16:32:34 [MichaelC]
chair: Janina
16:33:14 [Rich]
User agents MUST expose information to assistive technologies in the order specified by CSS Flexbox.
16:33:17 [fesch]
rs: put in spec, the rest can be in a AAm
16:33:58 [MichaelC]
ack me
16:34:12 [fesch]
mc: there is a stub for a CSS AAM which I was going to tell the editors next week
16:34:22 [fesch]
js: need to make sure issues get listed
16:35:00 [fesch]
js: what do people think of a survey?
16:35:43 [fesch]
js: if we put a line in the sand, we need to have our ducks in a row, and make sure we have a position and consensus
16:36:08 [fesch]
mc: not sure we have a position yet, only what a few of us put together
16:36:23 [fesch]
js: we could ask about that?
16:37:24 [fesch]
mc: that there was active work on an AAM... and I don't think we agreed on particular feature be implemented...
16:37:38 [fesch]
rs: I think this has gone on ...
16:37:51 [fesch]
mc: they would start work on x
16:38:31 [fesch]
mc: that we would start on an AAM... and some of the bigger things - we have a place to work on navigation... and if we could get all this stuff under way...
16:39:11 [fesch]
mc: it doesn't make sense to hold up a spec, if everyone (CSS included) are working solving it in good faith..
16:39:27 [ShaneM]
q+ to say that it might be out of process
16:40:13 [ShaneM]
q-
16:40:19 [fesch]
js: assuming an agreement to work on these documents including an AAM, is it appropriate to ask them to put a requirement in the flexbox spec...
16:40:52 [fesch]
mc: there is a procedural problem, having a dependency in one spec on a non-existent spec
16:41:10 [fesch]
js: we could go to director...
16:41:21 [fesch]
mc: those are the options -
16:41:31 [fesch]
rs: would we accept a should?
16:42:02 [fesch]
rs: IBM will probably object, unless they put in...
16:42:57 [fesch]
mc: if we got a director to accept a dependency on a non existent spec, it probably won't be accepted because the AAM doesn't exist.
16:43:15 [fesch]
mc: we don't have anything more than a strong recommendation.
16:43:25 [fesch]
rs: why are we being bashful?
16:43:42 [fesch]
rs: we have asked them many times
16:43:54 [fesch]
rs: we gave in on the keyboard support...
16:44:22 [fesch]
mc: I am being bashful then I want to preserve a good working relationship
16:44:34 [fesch]
rs: why is this unreasonable?
16:44:49 [fesch]
rs: so it would be ok if it were a SHOUL
16:44:51 [fesch]
D
16:45:12 [fesch]
mc: yes, we could even ask them to make an errata when the AAM is done
16:45:42 [fesch]
js: likelihood a SHOULD is the best we can ask for
16:45:57 [fesch]
js: asking for a SHOULD seems reasonable
16:47:16 [fesch]
js: 2 questions - draft sentence from Rich and a strong recommendation (SHOULD)
16:47:32 [fesch]
js: that is not a lot of asks
16:47:48 [fesch]
mc: should is reasonable
16:48:00 [fesch]
js: they need to work with us on AAM
16:48:19 [fesch]
mc: code share doesn't support a task force...
16:49:11 [fesch]
mc: we should get some of the CSS WG interested in accessibility
16:50:02 [fesch]
js: and the last thing is they are working on their good faith best practices document
16:51:19 [fesch]
fe: based on SVG task force, you are only going to get a small group... and the main working group won't be knowledgeable on it
16:52:24 [fesch]
js: so is a task force a good way to do it?
16:52:28 [fesch]
fe: yes
16:52:49 [fesch]
fe: pain points is when you need their specs changed
16:53:18 [fesch]
js: we want to keep a good working relationship
16:53:28 [fesch]
js: any remaining thoughts?

agendum 6. "HTML Resurrecting H1-H6? http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2016Apr/0053.html" taken up [from janina]
16:55:17 [fesch]
js: two approaches to doing headings in HTML ... H1-H6 then the HTML 2 approach H1s and local headings... looking to drop the XHTML approach as it not implemented
16:55:46 [fesch]
mc: It is the idea that you can calculate heading levels ...
16:56:21 [fesch]
rs: if you mix both paradigms wont you have problems?
16:56:45 [fesch]
rs: people use heading incorrectly for styling
16:57:05 [fesch]
mc: shame to get rid of heading algorithms...
16:57:35 [fesch]
mc: using h elements are a pain with a template, would rather have a calculated one...
16:57:48 [fesch]
rs: is better to get user agent support?
16:58:25 [fesch]
mc: chaals is pointing out that AT need different info from what you see, and authors aren't going to be aware of the problem
16:59:00 [fesch]
mc: it was the browser is sending to the APIs but they are not sending heading levels to the API based on calculated levels...
16:59:27 [fesch]
mc: a need for actual calculation is needed for the API but browsers aren't doing that
16:59:49 [fesch]
mc: if HTML weren't dropping this, then it could go in the HTML AAM.
17:00:02 [fesch]
rs: can we ask to not throw it out?
17:00:19 [fesch]
mc: Might, but they may come back with a timeline...
17:00:30 [fesch]
mc: unsure of where it will go...
17:00:57 [fesch]
js: have seen a lot of bad H1-H6 usage...
17:01:19 [fesch]
mc: they are saying it should be removed because no one uses it
17:01:36 [fesch]
js: should we ask the HTML AAM people this?
17:01:48 [fesch]
rs: have talked to AT vendors about this?
17:02:03 [fesch]
js: there is one here...
17:02:59 [fesch]
jd: I don't think an AT would change...
17:03:14 [fesch]
js: should the HTML AAM address this?
17:03:43 [fesch]
jd: their calculated by what is in the DOM?
17:04:09 [fesch]
jd: any time you don't just take what the author provided, you may have a problem
17:04:38 [fesch]
js: our action is to ask the HTML AAM whether it would be worth trying to keep
17:05:24 [fesch]
