Agenda Review & Announcements

Dpub Audiobook Comments

Janina: some tweets came in regarding the spec; most have been dealt with; one question remains.

Jason: Initial language was recommending use of a synchronisation spec, but this is apparently not on a recommendation track, so is non-normative and could cause interoperability issues to arise should it change. Should the spec be on a recommendations track?
... other issues introduced (editorial) have been addressed.

Marisa: currently it's a non-normative reference in a non-normative section.

Jason: concern about the language around the reference, given the state of development of the synchronisation spec. Would be good to have a working draft perhaps?

Janina: (quotes the language) the language says the use of the synchronisation spec is recommended (though this is in a non-normative section). What is the intent with the synchronisation document - is it intended to become a standard?

Marisa: Unsure, depends on the level of interest and participation in the community group.
... Lots of good work going on in the community group. Timelines are a factor.

Avneesh: (ACKs the timing issues)
... Text equivalent to audio. One is to provide the text in the HTML and point to it. Another is to provide use synch media. Perhaps an approach would be to recommend the HTML approach first, and the synch media approach after that?

Janina: The idea of the spec sounds good. A potential challenge is that it may've changed significantly in a few years' time. Proposes Janina and Jason draft some language to provide this context for the pointer to the synch media spec.

Jason: (agrees - would like to help progress this)

Avneesh and Marisa: (agree that sounds good)

Task Force Updates

<Avneesh> Heading to bed. Thank you

Irfan: FPWD has been published; working on FWD timeline. Starting technical approach document soon (working out the timeline currently). The Explainer document has been shared too.

<Irfan> https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/pronunciation.html

Janina: Michael suggested this may have an impact on 3.1.6 (link directly above).

Irfan: Timelines are being worked out at the moment.

Michael: WCAG is not dependant on Pronounciation (as it is on Personalization). (Janina ACKs)

Irfan: idea is to get something ready before July 2020 which is when the CR of WCAG 2.2 is expected.

Janina: Goal for Pronounciation spec is to have something a good way along a standards track to ensure that it makes sense to be able to reference it from WCAG. Lots of preparatory work already done, e.g. with the Explainer and so on already published.
... CfC out relating to work that came mostly out of RQTF: review of the WebRTC spec: the need to support real-time text. Some of the reasons for this are explained in their addendum and they've worked on a first draft of that language.
... we should check that language (hence the CfC).

Jason: Very thoughtful discussion of this has been ongoing. Valuable to review, as ever. Josh has been working on a document regarding real-time communication and RQTF is looking to propose to APA that that be developed as a working draft. Opportunities to review that should emerge within the next several weeks, or so.

Josh: (ACKs)
... Great to see the energy in this area; exciting subject. (*general agreement*)

Horizontal reviews https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Horizontal+review+requested%22

Michael: Second Screen WG is re-chartering; we've previously reviewed their spec.

Janina: we noted that a second screen may not be a screen.

<MichaelC> Open Screen Protocol

Michael: Added a comment that we are OK with it. Since then, the notion of Open Screen Protocol (link directly above) was added.

Abstract of Open Screen Protocol is: "The Open Screen Protocol is a suite of network protocols that allow user agents to implement the Presentation API and the Remote Playback API in an interoperable fashion."

Michael: *Understands it to be a means to support cross-device casting, for example.* This appears to be lower-level than we would be concerned about.

Jason: would accessible retrieval and control of paramaters like volume/brightness be covered here?

Michael: Think it's focusing on the media stream - issues regarding accessibility of things like control would come up during spec review [this is a charter review].

Josh: notion of second screen not being a screen - how does this relate to hand-shaking?

Michael: Seems like this spec would make this sort of thing easier; suggest no comments from APA at this time.

(general agreement)

Michael: WebXR Gamepads module Level 1

<MichaelC> WebXR Gamepads Module - Level 1

Michael: We've reviewed WebXR Device API, also Gamepad API. Should we review this too?

Janina: Sense is that if we review this, it's to ensure it's as complete as we'd like it to be (e.g. if any device considerations are missing)?
... Good to comment as early as possible.

<MichaelC> CSS Containment Module Level 2

Janina: Could this be used for things like collapsing the navbar or other areas that the user may wish to collapse/expand (seems to relate to COGA and Personalization). Time to loop in Ian Pouncey again?

Michael: Becky: [wondering what our review should focus on]

Becky: [gives examples of possible interactions with screen-magnification]

Michael: concerned there may be the possibility of inadvertently introducing WCAG violations in some cases.
