Response to comment on 3.2.7 Change of Content #482
15:08:10 [lisa_]
the volume is cuting out
15:08:14 [bruce_bailey]
This was in response to David MacDonald
15:08:37 [bruce_bailey]
AWK: we have the pull request wrt changing second bullet
15:08:58 [bruce_bailey]
9 access and others with comments and suggestion
15:09:19 [bruce_bailey]
AWK call on Alistair to respond
15:09:32 [bruce_bailey]
Alastairc: thinks response covers it
15:09:51 [bruce_bailey]
it seems a bit odd that change in focus might exempt
15:09:57 [bruce_bailey]
could be 50/50 chance
15:10:12 [bruce_bailey]
AWK: similar comments / concerns
15:10:33 [bruce_bailey]
it can be a slippery slow with "after" since that could be 10 pages down
15:10:40 [bruce_bailey]
does it help? does it hurt?
15:10:54 [interaccess]
q?

15:12:31 [bruce_bailey]

Q+
15:13:31 [bruce_bailey]
Jason: 2nd point is magnificant does not have to cover all the content that was changed
15:13:41 [bruce_bailey]
might just be live area
15:14:06 [JF]
Q+ to ask about "what kind of notification?" is there a minimum notice required?
15:14:22 [bruce_bailey]
3rd point was concern that proposal might not be exactly right thing for the user
15:14:26 [AWK]
ack jf
15:14:26 [Zakim]
JF, you wanted to ask about "what kind of notification?" is there a minimum notice required?
15:14:29 [bruce_bailey]
conclusion is we should consider more.
15:14:56 [bruce_bailey]
John F: To notification issue, do we need to define or clarify?
15:15:17 [bruce_bailey]
JF: FaceBook example is just a ping on a page. Is that enough?

15:16:04 [bruce_bailey]
Jason: We specify something like an aria live region
15:16:05 [gowerm]
q+
15:16:22 [bruce_bailey]
If we want to allow other approaches, we need to dicuss further
15:16:31 [bruce_bailey]
that technology needs to be developed
15:16:52 [bruce_bailey]
Users are likely to expect an aria live region
15:16:55 [Pietro]
Pietro has joined #ag
15:17:07 [bruce_bailey]
the form example might be a bit missleading
15:17:23 [bruce_bailey]
things might not work as well as commenter things.
15:17:36 [AWK]
ack gower
15:17:48 [bruce_bailey]
AWK: to summarize, core of requirement is notification and could be a chime or something
15:18:07 [bruce_bailey]
JF: Asks if we have that documented in draft understanding?
15:18:15 [Pietro]
Present+
15:18:27 [bruce_bailey]
MikeG: I was okay with comment, but draft has undefinded terms
15:18:43 [JF]
+1 Mike
15:18:46 [bruce_bailey]
There are a lot of details and undefined terms that we do not have clear enough
15:19:10 [bruce_bailey]
The part about "programatic notification" is okay but not fleshed out enough
15:19:32 [jasonjgw]
q+
15:19:43 [bruce_bailey]
AKW: Programmatic notification is made by the author, because of something the author did, but the AT response is not known.
15:20:06 [bruce_bailey]
AWK: are there other issues beyond programmatic notification?
15:20:27 [AWK]
ack jas
15:20:29 [bruce_bailey]
MikeG: PN is the main issues but even it is vague.
15:20:37 [jnurthen]
+1 to vagueness here
15:20:45 [bruce_bailey]
MikeG gives other quick examples of vagues.
15:21:12 [bruce_bailey]
Jason: agree significant definitial issues
15:21:33 [bruce_bailey]
Thinks we may be able to address those with other current open issues.
15:22:08 [bruce_bailey]
HTML5 techniques will cause user agents to be alerted in at least some sense
15:22:33 [bruce_bailey]
We should think in our clarifications about how programmatic notification works
15:23:03 [bruce_bailey]
AWK: I am hearing some real significant doubts about PN but also this SC in particular.
15:23:41 [bruce_bailey]
People like this idea, for a requirement about alerting to changes on the page that does not have immediate focus.
15:23:58 [bruce_bailey]
Downstream in the page and sequential reading order are tied into this as well.
15:24:16 [steverep]
q+ to disagree specifically with the exception
15:24:18 [bruce_bailey]
In the survey, 9 of us said we should allow the downstream exception
15:24:32 [AWK]
ack steve
15:24:32 [Zakim]
steverep, you wanted to disagree specifically with the exception
15:24:33 [bruce_bailey]
Asks for speaking up to agree.
15:25:09 [bruce_bailey]
Steve concures with concern. Agrees that exception that exception is a problem.
15:25:32 [Brooks]
q+ to ask about intent of SC - Is this about ultimate discoverability of added content, or is this about immediate discoverability of new content?
15:25:39 [bruce_bailey]
Steve: Exception assumes that a blind individual only needs to get one read of the page
15:25:50 [bruce_bailey]
Steve does not like the change.
15:26:08 [bruce_bailey]
AKW asks for reasons to keep the change.
15:26:21 [JF]
Q+
15:26:42 [bruce_bailey]
MikeG says that if the change is right after the other control, then it really might not be a problem.
15:27:10 [jasonjgw]
q+
15:27:14 [bruce_bailey]
MikeG: If it immediately follows, not something much further down the page, the new information should be readily available.

Brooks, you wanted to ask about intent of SC - Is this about ultimate discoverability of added content, or is this about immediate discoverability of new content?
15:27:16 [jnurthen]
q+
15:28:02 [bruce_bailey]
Brooks: idea is to let user immediately know about new content
15:28:30 [bruce_bailey]
Alternative is just that users find out because something is in their way
15:28:55 [bruce_bailey]
AKW asks for clarification for concern, back to drop-down example of picking country.
15:29:14 [lisa]
just stepping aay for a moment
15:29:25 [gowerm]
q+
15:29:40 [bruce_bailey]
If user selects US, then drop down is state. If user selects Canada, then drop down is provices [sp]
15:30:18 [AWK]
ack JF

s/provices [sp]/provinces
15:30:34 [bruce_bailey]
Brook: Issue is simplier than we might be making. Agrees that user does not need to hear that second group of choices changes.
15:30:53 [bruce_bailey]
JohnF: The key issue really seems to be around proximity.
15:31:20 [bruce_bailey]
So changing the the very next field change is fine. Most forms and fillout is a linear process.
15:31:53 [bruce_bailey]
Question about what happens when going backward? Going back to country field from bottom of form?
15:31:58 [AWK]
ack jason
15:32:01 [bruce_bailey]
How close is close enough?
15:32:45 [bruce_bailey]
Jason: Example is survey is similar to what JF described, so picking a different country might delete what the user put into address field.
15:33:27 [bruce_bailey]
User would be okay with states changing to providences, and expect that proximate change.
15:33:46 [bruce_bailey]
Other changes, like the address line being lost, would need programmatic notification.
15:34:13 [bruce_bailey]
If we want to restrict this based on kind of changes, we need some clarification about that.
15:34:32 [AWK]
ack jn
15:34:40 [bruce_bailey]
General assumptions about linear reading order might not hold. So we need to re-evaluation.

15:35:29 [bruce_bailey]
James: We need to think more about proximity. If any user makes a choice that changes the (form) page three screens away, no one knows.
15:35:36 [bruce_bailey]
JF: Asks about page.
15:35:42 [AWK]
q+
15:35:52 [Alex__]
good point
15:36:02 [steverep]
q+ to say talking about proximity is a non-starter for me - visual and DOM can be very different
15:36:05 [bruce_bailey]
Jason clarifies about long page. There are ways to think about proximity and flow.
15:36:23 [lisa]
ack l
15:36:33 [bruce_bailey]
JF: Flow term is interesting, different than proximity. Is issue really about change of flow?
15:36:35 [lisa]
putting my comments n irc.
15:36:45 [lisa]
emphasis is also imporant
15:36:50 [AWK]
s/Jason clarifies/JF clarifies
15:37:00 [lisa]
people think you will know or see something becuse it is in bold
15:37:09 [bruce_bailey]
If the change is in the experience space of "not yet heard" then changes there are not important.
15:37:12 [lisa]
but proximity is not relivent
15:37:27 [bruce_bailey]
Shopping cart experience is a good example.
15:37:38 [AWK]
ack gower
15:38:00 [bruce_bailey]
Example with lots of simultaneous data (ex., sports scores) need consideration as well.
15:38:34 [bruce_bailey]
MikeG: Context was experience of screen reader users and aria live and what programmatic notification could be for different people
15:38:45 [AWK]
q-
15:39:06 [bruce_bailey]
MikeG: Change of context for the user remains an important concern.
15:39:23 [bruce_bailey]
I reasonable technic is to notify the user.
15:39:45 [jasonjgw]
q+
15:39:54 [bruce_bailey]
The user could be notified in advance, but only when the technology does not support the live notification.
15:40:27 [bruce_bailey]
Exception for advance notification is too broad as currently written.
15:40:48 [AWK]
zakim, close the queue
15:40:48 [Zakim]
ok, AWK, the speaker queue is closed
15:40:51 [AWK]
ack br
15:41:00 [bruce_bailey]
MikeG gave the example of the fast keyboard user moving away from focus, missing the screenreader update.
15:41:11 [bruce_bailey]
Programmatic notification could have solved that.
15:41:53 [bruce_bailey]
Brooks: It is not about options for question 2 changing is not so important as understanding the relation from question 1.
15:42:10 [bruce_bailey]
Example of country and then subdivision is okay.
15:42:26 [AWK]
ack ste
15:42:26 [Zakim]
steverep, you wanted to say talking about proximity is a non-starter for me - visual and DOM can be very different
15:42:38 [bruce_bailey]
Example of favorite color changing options in next question is must less obvious.
15:43:11 [bruce_bailey]
Steve: Talking about proximity is a non-starter since DOM proximity and visual proximity might not be strict enough.
15:43:46 [bruce_bailey]
Proximity in terms of cognitive is even more problematic. States coming from country is intuitive.
15:43:51 [gowerm]
q+
15:44:21 [bruce_bailey]
No end user wants an aria alert about changes down the page when those changes are natural and not needed.
15:44:38 [AWK]
ack jason
15:44:38 [bruce_bailey]
As a full-time screen reader user, I am concerned with current phrasing.
15:44:52 [bruce_bailey]
AWK: So we want this funtional and not overly verbose.
15:45:32 [bruce_bailey]
Jason: The important changes relevant to the task and how the content is designed.
15:45:54 [bruce_bailey]
Change should fall into the scope of what is being effected by the notification.
15:46:10 [JF]
There seems to be a distinct dividing line here: forms versus other content that updates (i.e. sport scores, etc.)
15:46:16 [bruce_bailey]
So some examples we discussed meet that threshhold
15:46:36 [bruce_bailey]
We might also scope this down to UI elements that are added or deleted.
15:47:05 [bruce_bailey]
Example of sports results page would be compatible with this, since updates are expected, but not newly added.
15:47:09 [AWK]
Current issues logged on "Change of Content" SC: https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%7Ecomment-change-of-content
15:47:18 [bruce_bailey]
Agree that current phrasing is not sufficient.
15:47:44 [bruce_bailey]
AKW: We have a log of significant comments and concerns [as pasted in].
15:48:12 [bruce_bailey]
Just one public comment, but it seems we cannot answer it without collectively digesting member concerns.

15:49:45 [bruce_bailey]
AKW: Thinks this is of issue to COGA group, but came from mobile task force
15:50:01 [alastairc]
This one came from DavidM, one of the few 'misc' SCs.
15:50:02 [lisa]
if you want to suggest or cc the coga group that would be fantastic
15:50:05 [bruce_bailey]

15:53:06 [bruce_bailey]
See SteveR:The premise for closing issues like this should be that we must concentrate on 2.1 SC and only talk about 2.0 changes for serious conflicts instead of cosmetics. The group was far from unanimous on making zero changes to 2.0 criteria (and there was no formal decision recorded on it unless I missed it), so there's no need for such a response.
15:53:24 [bruce_bailey]
Bruce is okay with respond as ammended
15:53:26 [AWK]
"The WG has ruled out changes to WCAG 2.0 SC, in order to maintain clear backwards compatibility. Therefore we will not rename these SC."

Teh WG has ruled out editorial or substantive changes to WCAG 2.0... compatibility while creating WCAG 2.1. Therefore...
15:57:06 [bruce_bailey]
JF: To what SteveR asks. Did we not decide not to change anything in 2.1 that is coming over from 2.0?
15:57:36 [jasonjgw]
q+
15:57:42 [bruce_bailey]
We decided to create new SC for 2.1 so we avoided need to edit 2.0 SC.
15:58:06 [gowerm]
"The WG has ruled out changes to WCAG 2.0 normative language while updating WCAG 2.1 SC , in order to maintain clear backwards compatibility. Therefore we will not rename these SC for WCAG 2.1 but will defer this issue for future consideration."
15:58:10 [bruce_bailey]
MikeCooper: We made decision NOT to change 2.0 SC but reserved option to come back to 2.0 SC.
15:58:34 [bruce_bailey]
Not in favor of deciding not to decide, but that is what the WG settled upon.
