outside the body context is still valid HTML 17:40:45 so this would map to something more meaningful than generic or group 17:41:13 jamesn: will this make the SR interface more verbose? excessively chatty? 17:41:32 q? 17:42:01 scotto: hence the suggestion to only expose as a new role description, but still a generic container AT could ignore when irrelevant 17:42:19 "The header element represents a group of introductory or navigational aids." 17:42:32 mk: when are these exposed 17:43:17 scotto: in the context of other containers.... e.g. could be a header for a block quote, but would not be appropriate to use a banner landmark mapping in that case 17:43:38 s/when are these exposed/when are these used most commonly/ 17:43:43 complex figures could also benefit from such elements 17:43:56 mk: concerned about the chattiness issue jamesn raised 17:44:02 q? 17:45:15 scotto: our choices are: expose as group, or expose as something more meaningful 17:45:39 shouldn't change any behavior... just whether you hear group or header role desc 17:50:42 q+ 17:50:49 mk: if we're going to do something "better" there should be a way for an author consciously choosing this to make sure it's exposed.. compared to random web authoring toolkit that just uses the header element as a generic 17:51:22 for example, sections become regions if they are labeled 17:52:12 scotto: we could make complicated mapping roles like header inside article 17:52:17 q+ 17:52:39 scotto: provides a way for AT and authors to do this where they can't today 17:53:32 ack me 17:53:50 mk: could require an explicit role=header even on
17:54:15 jamesn: would want the default to be generic 17:54:42 scotto: would not be spoken 17:58:41 jcraig: I would want aria rules and behaviors to be consistent but not overly restrictive to act work around misuse. 17:59:28 mk: @@@ 17:59:28 zakim ,close the queue 17:59:34 zakim, close the queue 17:59:34 ok, jamesn, the speaker queue is closed 17:59:39 q? 18:00:37 s/@@@/concerned with title attire on generic containers cause them to be exposed as meaningful semantic containers 18:00:49 s/@@@/concerned with title attire on generic containers cause them to be exposed as meaningful semantic containers/ 18:01:19 scotto: could do this in AAM similar to region role mapping 18:01:55 scotto: I will write some PRs 18:02:21 cyns: will @ others to the issues 18:02:42 zakim, please part 18:02:42 leaving.
