Allow additional elements to be considered labelable

<matatk> w3c/a11y-review#167

<Fazio> I'm more concerned with show picker

matatk: idea to add lables to some more html elements eg. textarea

PaulG: lable should behave like a label only

janina: +1

PaulG: need testing with different browser and AT combination to check focusable property of editable content

Media query to prefer shapes over colours

<matatk> w3c/a11y-review#126

<Fazio> stroop effect for color is a problem too

<Fazio> I continue to flip the wrong gas switch in peru because green minus means gas off and red flame means on

<Fazio> I interpret green as on red as off

matatk: why to prefer shapes over colours

<Fazio> I am neurodivergent

<Fazio> brain injury

<Fazio> More to neurodivergernce than autism and adhd

matatk: default should be both colour and shape and option should be there to switch between the two

Request for meeting from WebRTC

<matatk> https://www.w3.org/TR/raur/

<Roy> A recurring topic at the intersection of WebRTC and accessibility has been the integration of real-time text (RTT) in WebRTC-based services. See for instance:

<Roy> https://www.w3.org/2019/09/20-apa-minutes.html#item02

<Roy> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Team/w3t-wai/2020Sep/0030.html

<Roy> https://www.w3.org/TR/2021/REC-webrtc-20210126/#accessibility-considerations

<Roy> We have been recently notified by the author of the relevant IETF RFC that that work has now concluded:

<Roy> w3c/webrtc-pc#2931

<Roy> Unfortunately, based on the assessment of two of the co-chairs of the WebRTC WG (including Bernard Aboba who is directly involved in the relevant FCC work in the US), the said RFC is not fit for purpose, nor implementable.

<Roy> To compound that situation, according to Bernard, that unsatisfactory solution is going to become part of the EU regulation on the matter, via:
