RQTF Reminder http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2016Jun/0042.html

JS: reminder that this TF is still recruiting

<Gottfried> GZ: JTC1 SC36 is going to develop a revision of 24751-1 on user preferences which will include a registry for concepts, a format for preference sets and and API for preference servers.

JS: we need a good group organized here, we will be dependent on them going forwaard

SVG Nested Links? http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2016Jun/0054.html

JS: Fred had some question on this topic

FE: active discussion on the ARIA thread, and we will be discussing later today on SVG WG call
... have received lots of good feedback

TPAC 2016 Planning

JS: actively soliciting agenda ideas for TPAC
... please add to the wiki

Formal Review Request http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2016Jun/0059.html

JS: we have received a formal request to do a formal review

we need to respond on this spec

JS: thinks Fred might have had an action item on this, but thinking of asking Matt King to respond

JF: what about Research TF?

JS: too soon - this is a request to comment on a spec going through transition

MC: yes, there is some additional time-line pressure on this
... they may have intended for us to review the CR version, but the 'rush' was a bit of a shock

<MichaelC> Webmention and Activity Streams are docs we decided we don't need to review. Micropub is one we wanted to come back to, so perhaps it's time now. Social Web Protocols is one we assigned to Fred back in January but he hasn't returned on that yet.

MC: some of these are going to CR soon - dates not available

FE: if I had an action item on this... it was a low-level thing
... don't remember this

MC: wiki doesn't show anything. Possible we missed deferring this - need to crosscheck

FE: I can look at this again

<MichaelC> action-2002?

JS: there are a couple of specs here - we may need to break this up. Divide and conquer

MC: 1.5 new on TR

<MichaelC> CSS Scroll Snap Module Level 1

CSS Scroll snap points - related to the one JF is looking at. Has been republished as CSS Scroll snap module level 1

MC: causes a discontinuity on oour wiki - started a new wiki page
... have cleaned up our wiki {{grumble}}

<MichaelC> Page Visibility 2

JF: this sort of looks like it's related to CSS visibility - if so, likely not an issue

MC: looking at the api, it doesn't seem to be something that has an impact on us
... will mark as 'reviewed'

{{LOL}}

HTML 5.1 input type="password http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2016Jun/0053.html

JS: large discussion. Part of it may have come into our space

Rich has noted the security issues in HTML5.1 and type="password"

JS: is this a flaw, or something thta we need to address

RS: the issue is that type=password is not secure today. Passwords can be cached, you can inpsect and examine the password value in the UI
... this means that anyone can find your password thanks to cache - look at the value and boom, you have somebody's password

<Zakim> MichaelC, you wanted to say second-hand report is security not intended for HTML password and to say nonetheless JC said there´s secure storage at least on his browser that´s not

MC: Judy has discussed this with Wendy S, and there is an intent to address this - it's being seen as a feature not a bug

JamesN found other issues and mentioned them on a different call this week

there may be other issues due to lack of specification

in the HTML5 spec, the spec says it SHOULD mask output

but not sure exactly what is required, but we can do it at CR phase now

<Zakim> MichaelC, you wanted to say password security not actually our domain

JS: notes this is already an issue, and W3C is aware - security group is supposed to be chasing this

when we meet with securtiy at TPAC, we should express our concern, but not our issue to follow up on

RS: concern is that Apple doesn't want to implement due to lack of security, but type=password is not secure, so there isn't an issue

MC: Safari may or may not have additional security there

JS: do we want more explanatory language in the spec?

<MichaelC> (and other browsers may more may not as well)

by noting the impact on Assistive TEchnology

MC: most AT will render as masked content, but that seems tobe very base level

RC: the other issues is that browssrs are allowing for snooping of the value

It isn't an a11y issue, but it *IS* an issue

MC: we should advise the security folks of our shock, and we can discuss with them the impact on AT

JS: yes, we need some key-echo on mobile in paticular

MC: question is, how hard do we push the security folks with our dismay?
... need to be mindful of other WG's domains

JS: agreed, but this opens up other issues we are looking at

RC: the password role will likely be pushed to ARIA 2.0

if that is the case, I just want to avoid the retreaded discussion we had already

we all know that password is not bery secure anyway - we recognize the need for a fundemental change

MC: agree there is a need for change - but it isn't an APA issue

we will request time with the security folks at TPAC

we can address it then - noting our collective discomfort

JF: notes that the browsers are a critical players here

MC: correct, and the security folks need to take it to the HTML5 WG

<Zakim> joanie, you wanted to make minor technical point

Joanie: there is an actual issue with ATs - we fixed the one we found on our platform, but there may still be an issue (HTML AAM thing?)

MC: agree
... we note that any script can get access to the value, find it weird that AT cannot

JS: will put this on the wiki as a TPAC question - we will likely request joint meeting
... notes as well that this is on agenda for Research TF going forward

MC: added to TPAC scratch page

HTML 5.1 Diff Review -- Cynthia, Michiel

JS: not ready to discuss this week?

CS: changes are not that large, and chatting with Travis indicated it would take about amonth for 2-3 people

so if we broke up the change list into 3 buckets

CS: (notes re-add of @longdesc)
... the question is, can things proceed as is, versus looking at what we missed that shuld go into 5.2

JS: any ideas on how to break up the changes into 3 buckets

CS: not really at this time - a ToDo

might start by asking for volunteers

CS: we will need to think about breaking things up: higher level process - how docs relate to each other, what will future versions look like, and OMG we can't ship like this today

JS: looking at the list - anything else jumping out?

<MichaelC> close action-2064

<trackbot> Closed action-2064.

JS: will re-add to agenda for next week - please look over the change log and start thinking about taking on specifics

CSS A11y TF Draft https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/css-a11y/work-statement

JS: sent out an email this morning

getting nervous about this info - need to do a wider announcement

CS: will do so ASAP

MC: we need to get cracking on this - work is happening now

JF: can we wait a wekk/10 days?

JS: important that we don't fall behind
... apologies to Fred, we will take up the rest of the agenda next week
... any last minute comments?
... thanks - meeting ajourned

trackbot, end meeting
