input[type=button]
16:11:13 [MichielBijl]
:role(button) {…}
16:11:16 [Gottfried]
Michiel: Easier to make selection rules for all buttons.
16:11:22 [Gottfried]
... or other elements based on role.

Q+
16:12:07 [Gottfried]
... This script is a polyfill that looks through all DOM elements.
16:12:35 [Gottfried]
... The script does not break anything.
16:13:03 [Gottfried]
... Originally, classes were supposed to support selection by role.
16:13:09 [Gottfried]
s/classes/CSS classes
16:13:37 [Gottfried]
John: Mix of semantics and style. There has been push-back from CSS people in the past.
16:14:00 [Gottfried]
... Would like to apply semantics to CSS-style selectors. Today, they are only used for styling.
16:14:26 [Gottfried]
Michiel: We are not applying semantics, we are using semantics to select elements.
16:14:38 [Gottfried]
John: You could apply an attribute selector instead.
16:14:49 [Gottfried]
Michiel: That's what Brian's script does.
16:14:50 [MichielBijl]
[role=button] {…}
16:15:12 [Gottfried]
John: Use aria-* attribute as selector.
16:15:32 [Gottfried]
Michiel: Pseudo-class would make it easier.
16:16:50 [Gottfried]
Michiel: Selecting the first character after a heading complex right now - much easier with pseudo-role selector.
16:17:53 [Gottfried]
... Plugin could be written with PostCSS. Use matching selector of PostCSS.
16:18:14 [MichielBijl]

16:18:17 [Gottfried]
... Jonathan wrote something that does exactly that.
16:18:25 [Gottfried]
... It is a proof of concept.
16:18:36 [Gottfried]
Janina: Comments are welcome.
16:18:54 [Gottfried]
... Should be most useful for well-structured documents, e.g. EPUB.
16:19:15 [JF]
Q?
16:19:29 [Gottfried]
Michiel: Think it is interesting. Sad that it was brought up before and did not materialize.
16:19:59 [Gottfried]
... Looking for comments. Is it worth to take this further?
16:20:07 [Gottfried]
... and take it to the WAI?
16:20:19 [Gottfried]
John: Would that be something for the Web a11y tf?
16:20:24 [Gottfried]
Janina: Yes, i suppose.

Gottfried: colleague is working on a media query
16:21:20 [MichielBijl]
Just the beginning
16:21:24 [MichielBijl]
We had a discussion with CSS WG
16:21:34 [MichielBijl]
Had thought about extending media queries in this regard
16:21:42 [MichielBijl]
Student will work on this and work on a poly fill
16:22:09 [MichielBijl]
Like, if you want high contrast or something, that could be detected with a media query
16:22:46 [MichielBijl]
JS: Think this came up in Saporo
16:23:00 [MichielBijl]
CSS WG seems to be open to this sorta thing
16:23:04 [Gottfried]
Janina: We have an explicit allowance from the CSS wg to experiment with this.
16:23:09 [MichielBijl]
Gottfried: will keep you updated

16:25:04 [Gottfried]

Gottfried: lisa asked
16:51:50 [MichielBijl]
For us to give feedback on a special proposal
16:51:54 [MichielBijl]
On WCAG techniques
16:51:57 [MichielBijl]
Addressing COGA
16:52:08 [MichielBijl]
I can’t find these techniques tho
16:52:15 [MichielBijl]
Micahel, Janina, can you help me?
16:52:22 [MichielBijl]
s/Micahel/Michael/
16:52:28 [MichielBijl]
MC: We don’t have a formal place yet
16:52:39 [Gottfried]
techniques for WCAG 1.3.1 and WCAG 4.2.1
16:52:39 [MichielBijl]
Some of the TFs have proposed techniques in their own repos
16:53:19 [Gottfried]
Title for 1.3.1: Info and structure
16:53:39 [Gottfried]
Title for 4.2.1 (proposed) not known

Lisa wrote to Janina and me
16:54:27 [Gottfried]
Email subject: ETSI and URC support as techniques for WCAG 1.3.1 and WCAG 4.2.1
16:54:28 [MichielBijl]
And Michael, probably because he’s involved in ?? group
16:54:34 [MichielBijl]
Janina: he’s also int he COGA group
16:55:00 [MichielBijl]
What exactly is she looking for from APA?
16:55:16 [MichielBijl]
Gottfried: we’re wondering if this can be done via…
16:55:28 [MichielBijl]
They want to use vocabulary to enable accessibility support
16:55:39 [MichielBijl]
She wants a discussion on this
16:55:54 [MichielBijl]
MC: I’m not able to get orientated without more information
16:56:25 [MichielBijl]
JF: Perhaps 4.2.1 is a new proposal
16:56:43 [MichielBijl]
MC: Right now I don’t have a paper trail that leads me to more info about 4.2.1
16:57:15 [MichielBijl]
