CSS Update (Paul) https://github.com/w3c/css-a11y/issues

Paul: There is nothing going on right now. I've spent a lot of time on APIs

matatk: There are two things I want to mention: In the TPAC meeting we were in, friday evening, with CSS. They introduced us to 3 proposals from Google to make summaries more accessible

<matatk> Check under "next steps" for the CSS meeting, via our APA TPAC 2023 page: https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Meetings/TPAC_2023#CSS

matatk: Happy to hear opinions on that... just post to the list

matatk: Another interesting discussion about focus indicator and the problem with dark modes. Developers forgetting some aspects resulting in not accessbile focus indicatos

matatk: Please everyone have a look at the linked wiki-page. A lot of interessting discussions

matatk: For example, anchor positions, to create accessible floating widgets, menus for example

Paul: Also important with anchor positions, you focus an element but it leaves the DOM, you would have to tab through the page to get back to the position you were. Anchor positions also want to tackle that problem

matatk: I'm catching up on mine
