Meeting minutes
RESOLUTION: The group will not meet next week Monday July 4th. Happy holiday to everyone celebrating!
3.6 edit (see git link) (Janina)
Spec content is ready for CR
Janina: WHile editing, one issue was the way "distracting" and "distraction" appear in the spec
… And there is a PR against 3.6
3.6 edit (see git link) (Janina)
<Matthew_Atkinson> https://
<Matthew_Atkinson> Simplifications made in 3.6.1 (description) and 3.6.2 (examples); also two EdNotes have been added in 3.6.1 (description).
Sharon: Sounds like we are all OK to accept this wording.
… no objections
RESOLUTION: We agree to merge the PR 209 affecting the text of 3.6
Blog post draft ready (Lionel)
Sharon: check to be sure you are in the current, latest version
Sharon: The draft will go in the "Blog WAI-Adapt" slot of this wiki page
… https://
Lionel_Wolberger: I will have it up end of this week
janina: Better to have it before 0800 Tuesdeay
… as the next steps are (a) chairs to review Janina+Matt (b) Michael to review (c) Shawn to review
… then a CfC
janina: Once we finish document prep, we send the messaging up the chain. That includes approvals and reviews.
… that's step 1: complete the messaging
… step 2, Adapt logs a resolution that Adapt is ready for APA to announce a CfC to publish as a Candidate Recommendation
… this establishes a needed audit trail.
… given that CfC takes a week
… we are likely to publish 26th July
CR Announcement is teed up in the WAI wiki (Sharon)
Lionel: In conversation with a very knowledgeable W3C person, the question of <rel was raised
… see https://
Lisa: This did come up near the beginning (this is now years ago)
… I believe I recall that the scope was the problem
… <rel does meet some of the needs here. It works very well in the link of a header, perhaps other links, but not everywhere else
<Matthew_Atkinson> https://
Lisa: @rel tends to give meta-data on the page as a whole
janina: Suggest we add this to the explainer
Lisa: The mozilla doc opens with, "The rel attribute defines the relationship between a linked resource and the current document. Valid on <link>, <a>, <area>, and <form>, the supported values depend on the element on which the attribute is found."
… note [it relates to] "the current document"
Matthew_Atkinson: You can apply @rel to some elements, but not to buttons
… the mozilla doc lists <link>, <a>, <area>, and <form>
… not button
janina: What if WHAT-WG says, let's "fix" @rel so it can apply to buttons
Lisa: There is a temptation with semantics to overload what it actually is
… there will also be similar thoughts regarding the ability of RDF to do some of this semantic assignment
… and we will run into the same issues
Sharon: Lionel to respond with the summary of the above
