14:11:20 [mike_beganyi]
MichaelC: WebXR Device API which Fredrik took on review of
14:11:55 [mike_beganyi]
MichaelC: can discuss SVG Native
14:12:23 [mike_beganyi]
Matthew_Atkinson: should it be a "should" requirement to expose title in description or a "must"
14:13:02 [mike_beganyi]
Gottfried: we want to provide alt text, so "must" is appropriate
14:14:08 [mike_beganyi]
Matthew_Atkinson: renderers that don't expose alt are prevalent, so not sure we can dictate it's a "must". doesn't compare to other rendering formats

14:14:25 [janina]
q+
14:14:38 [mike_beganyi]
Matthew_Atkinson: Paul made a comment that we should make it a "should" because we cannot reasonably expect at the operating system level
14:14:47 [mike_beganyi]
ack janina
14:14:53 [Gottfried]
q+ Could it be a conditional "must"?
14:15:11 [mike_beganyi]
janina: we can try to have impact and maybe negotiate to "should"
14:15:16 [Gottfried]
q+ to ask whether it could be a conditional "must"
14:15:39 [Fazio_]
Fazio_ has joined #Apa
14:16:21 [mike_beganyi]
Gottfried: stop the deprecation of title and description from SVG. Agree with Mat that we don't have the say-so at the OS level. we have doors here but we can't push through them
14:17:02 [mike_beganyi]
Matthew_Atkinson: should we leave the comment as is and put CFC on it for discussion?
14:17:11 [mike_beganyi]
janina: I'm fine with all approaches
14:17:14 [mike_beganyi]
ack Gottfried
14:17:14 [Zakim]
Gottfried, you wanted to ask whether it could be a conditional "must"
14:17:57 [Gottfried]
ack
14:18:00 [mike_beganyi]
Gottfried: if it applies to accessibility API, then it must apply. a conditional must if a prerequisite is met
14:19:03 [mike_beganyi]
Matthew_Atkinson: Gottfried, are you happy with comment as is or should we include conditional must?
14:19:29 [mike_beganyi]
Gottfried: if we start with low requirement, it will move lower. like the idea of asking for a stronger requirement
14:19:39 [mike_beganyi]
Matthew_Atkinson: is conditional must sufficiently high?
14:19:41 [mike_beganyi]
Gottfried: yes
14:20:10 [mike_beganyi]
Matthew_Atkinson: janina, can I re-draft suggestion then re-send?
14:20:11 [mike_beganyi]
janina: yes

https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Fonts_for_the_Web:_Rationale,_1996
14:21:55 [mike_beganyi]
MichaelC: fonts for the web rationale 1996. a note publication of a document. it's being published. W3C winning an emmy for it. historical note. short and interesting read
14:22:54 [mike_beganyi]
MichaelC: three web assembly specs we might dispose of. for the core spec, review exercise but no comments. Javascript interface we decided we didn't need to review it, same with Web API.

14:23:32 [mike_beganyi]

14:24:49 [mike_beganyi]
MichaelC: Web XR Hand Input Module: not new to TR but just picked it up. looking through. had comments on other Web XR specs
14:26:00 [mike_beganyi]
MichaelC: suspicion that it is not necessary to review
14:26:28 [mike_beganyi]
Gottfried: student who wrote thesis on input without hand gestures. can share link
14:27:13 [Gottfried]
Fiona Heilemann. (2021). Accessible hands-free input methods for a serious VR game: Development and evaluation. Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart. https://hdms.bsz-bw.de/frontdoor/index/index/start/0/rows/10/sortfield/score/sortorder/desc/searchtype/simple/query/heilemann/docId/6641

14:27:47 [mike_beganyi]
janina: can ask anyone at W3C for assistance in reviewing.
14:27:55 [mike_beganyi]
janina: this is first public working draft or early on?
14:28:13 [mike_beganyi]
MichaelC: FPWD was about 2 years ago but it's reviewed every 6 months
14:28:23 [mike_beganyi]
janina: timely to review as CR may be coming up

zakim, take up item 7
14:30:48 [Zakim]
agendum 7 -- Web of Things - middleware concept update -- taken up [from Matthew_Atkinson]
14:31:20 [mike_beganyi]
janina: we came up with term which serves our needs: "middleware"
14:31:59 [mike_beganyi]
janina: our use case suggests that it's not enough whether it's indicated that something is controllable via an app, but there's software in-between that needs to be accessible
14:32:46 [RRSAgent]
I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2022/04/20-apa-minutes.html MichaelC
14:32:56 [mike_beganyi]
janina: only after purchasing a lamp and finding it's controlled by an app that is inaccessible is important to expose. started calling that particular software as "middleware"
14:33:04 [Matthew_Atkinson]
q?
14:33:48 [mike_beganyi]
janina: 2 things. if anyone knows how this software is specified or exposed; and a need to write an e-mail if not
14:34:08 [mike_beganyi]
Matthew_Atkinson: not sure if middleware is correct, but it feels right based on description
14:34:32 [mike_beganyi]
janina: if they've even thought of naming such software at all. ran into this before with HTML5 with "alternative"
14:34:47 [mike_beganyi]
janina: so we invented the term "primary media resource"
14:36:06 [mike_beganyi]
MichaelC: if there's a question just go ahead and pose it. they'll probably answer quickly and we can move forward
14:36:30 [mike_beganyi]
MichaelC: I'll update them on our status
14:37:07 [mike_beganyi]
zakim, take up item 6

14:37:48 [mike_beganyi]
janina: Josh is back in APA
14:38:06 [mike_beganyi]
Matthew_Atkinson: maturity model. we are running short on time.
14:41:10 [mike_beganyi]

14:48:17 [mike_beganyi]
PaulG: guests from Accessibility for Children Community Group, use case discussion we had not included, as well as ongoing guidance. make use case for certain spects of pronunciation are important for children in an environment where they are learning a second language. has pointed out some gaps in SSML, moving it to the web but still in that process
14:48:31 [mike_beganyi]
janina: not just an accessibility use case. It has massive implications beyond that, think of newcomers to different countries for example. Will talk to the task force responsible for language codes.
14:48:43 [mike_beganyi]
PaulG: SSML has a variant for voice, which is a positive integer targeted to a system. If it's a match it'll find the variant. Preserve the author's intentions
14:49:14 [mike_beganyi]
Fazio: Downs Syndrome has been changed from a severe cognitive disability to a mild one due to AAC and other devices. this work is important to provide a richer experience on the web
