We don't have a place for it yet. CSS-AAM backlog? 17:08:47 pkra: Sure? 17:09:20 pkra: We should at least document it. 17:09:35 jamesn: Dangerous to change behavior from what it is today, agree it should be documented. 17:09:49 Rahim: Assign it to me to investigate what browsers do today. 17:10:20 melsummer: Assign me too, please. I'd like to help document and reasons why. 17:11:10 jamesn: I would love to see a way to address this for keyboard users, since mouse users already often get a hover. 17:11:41 zakim, next item 17:11:41 agendum 2 -- -> New PR Triage https://github.com/search?l=&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+created%3A%3E%3D2025-03-20+repo%3Aw3c%2Faria&type=Issues -- taken up [from agendabot] 17:11:53 present+ 17:11:53 sarah has joined #aria 17:11:55 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2498 17:11:55 ChrisCuellar has joined #aria 17:11:58 present+ 17:12:02 present+ 17:12:05 spectranaut_: Editorial change 17:12:25 Matt_King has joined #aria 17:12:28 melsumner: Can we make sure it's editorial?

Line clamp inherently increases truncation when scaling is increased… which is not obvious to many developers 17:13:22 jamesn: I'll review it. 17:13:30 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2492 17:13:36 spectranaut_: Another editorial, good to merge. 17:13:43 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2489 17:13:57 spectranaut_: Another editorial, good to merge? 17:14:05 pkra: Yes. 17:14:16 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2488 17:14:23 spectranaut_: Another editorial 17:14:40 pkra: DPUB, minor editorial. 17:15:05 daniel: I can review it. 17:15:18 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2486 17:15:29 spectranaut_: Another editorial for accName. 17:15:39 spectranaut_: Looks like follow-up to accName convo. 17:15:51 Siri has joined #aria 17:16:00 present+ 17:16:03 Rahim: Would like Brian, Scott, Melanie to look and approve. 17:16:29 scott: I think there is probably a bigger discussion about the bigger issue. 17:17:13 scott: Around how accName is calculated (DOM nodes, accTree, etc). There are other tangents to explore. 17:17:28 jamesn: accName doesn't apply in this issue, right? 17:17:58 scott: That's the concern, it applies for general steps but also identifying what wins in conflicts and how host language factors. 17:18:26 scott: Look at the specs with more specific rules since it can't be called out in a general algorithm. 17:18:45 jamesn: And those specs point to accName for specific steps, otherwise you stay in the spec. 17:18:55 spectranaut_: Is there an issue for this? 17:19:07 melsumner: Yes, issue 250 in accName. 17:19:25 https://github.com/w3c/accname/issues/250 17:19:48 scott: I think this issue will resolve it as long as it is a more general note. 17:20:13 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2485 17:20:28 spectranaut_: Thank you for grammar fixes. Reviewers? 17:21:03 janefulton: I'll take it. 17:21:37 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2484 17:21:58 spectranaut_: This has a lot of reviwers. 17:22:19 Rahim: I recreated the work from the old PR.

Can someone add a summary? 17:30:20 jamesn: I sent it to you. 17:30:43 spectranaut_: I'll check it and paste it. 17:30:55 zakim, next item 17:30:55 agendum 5 -- -> Investigate changing ID-based WAI-ARIA value types due to referenceTarget https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/2487 -- taken up [from agendabot] 17:31:08 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2487 17:31:36 spectranaut_: This is editorial? 17:32:03 Rahim: This addition to HTML spec allows an ID association that crosses shadow root boundaries. 17:32:13 Rahim: The HTML spec is not formalizing the ID association. 17:32:23 present+ 17:32:27 Rahim: So with ARIA attributes, it is an element reference. 17:32:49 Rahim: With multiple IDREFs, its a "set of element references." 17:33:07 Rahim: So is this more than editorial since it thinks about the types of attributes an ARIA attribute can take. 17:33:26 Rahim: Thinking if ARIA should update accordingly now that HTML is add reference target. 17:33:32 Rahim: Perhaps it is just editorial. 17:34:15 spectranaut_: I think it's editorial, but since HTML spec changes haven't landed maybe we should un-agenda this for now. I'll add myself to help track it. 17:34:30 Rahim: Alice Boxhall mentioned there might be an impact on the AAMs as well. 17:34:44 spectranaut_: Yep, part of why I want to track this. 17:35:07 Matt_King: Does this have impacts on ARIA and it being host language agnostic? 17:35:07 jongund has joined #aria 17:35:32 Rahim: Good reminder ARIA needs to be host language independent, which is what spectranaut_ was referncing. 17:36:07 spectranaut_: Now there may be changes, like if aria-activedescendant would point to shadow root not versus the node deeper in the Shadow DOM. 17:36:47 aardrian: Next time -- aria-controls! 17:36:55 aardrian: For minuting! 17:37:38 zakim, next item 17:37:38 agendum 6 -- -> Document interop of misspelled aria-labeledby and its conflict resolution https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2093 -- taken up [from agendabot] 17:37:51 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2093 17:38:19 spectranaut_: There's been an update from keithamus 17:38:31 keithamus: Looking at deprecating the one L variant. 17:38:48 keithamus: Looking to see how it's being used in conjunction with misspelled and spelled variant. 17:39:04 keithamus: We'll continue to track deprecation and remove it in Chrome. 17:39:18 spectranaut_: No objections. 17:39:23 zakim, next item 17:39:23 agendum 7 -- Stale PR Processing -- taken up [from agendabot] 17:40:15 spectranaut_: Does anyone have a PR they have open they want us to look at and remind us to review? That's the point of this agenda item. 17:40:24 spectranaut_: We have 86 open PRs. 17:40:32 Rahim: I have one. 17:41:30 https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/2199 17:41:59 spectranaut_: Oh, you responded to my questions, Thank you, I will review today. 17:42:35 Rahim: Another. 17:42:36 https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/2420 17:43:13 jamesn: I'll look at it. Right now. 17:43:38 Rahim: Yeah, ok, one more. 17:44:07 jongund has joined #aria 17:44:15 https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/2419 17:44:29 Rahim: Thank you melsumner and scott for helping. 17:44:45 > spectranaut_: Has three other requested reviewers. 17:45:34 zakim, next item 17:45:34 agendum 8 -- https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2496 -- taken up [from jamesn] 17:45:51 scott has joined #aria 17:45:54 https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/2496 17:46:11 spectranaut_: CSS is coming up with stuff and we need to keep an eye on it? 17:46:25 scott: Yeah, two new significant features. 17:46:59 scott: One is CSS carousels. Which we discussed a bit at TPAC for how things might be exposed, how to map the elements created by CSS. 17:47:09 scott: But can't recall where it came back to group for discussion. 17:47:18 scott: We don't have a CSS-AAM. 17:47:33 scott: But there appears to be no rep from ARIA acting as a point person. 17:47:56 scott: The CSS spec is silent on how they should be mapped, it at all. But there is no CSS-AAM to do it. 17:48:25 scott: We need someone on point to bring consensus from ARIAWG. It can't be me; I don't represent everyone here or know all the sutff. 17:48:49 scott: With CSSWG moving away from visual styles to implementing functionality, we need to stay on this. 17:48:57 melsumner: Can we ask them to not? 17:49:15 q+ 17:49:31 spectranaut_: It would be great is someone in the group could do this. Any takers? 17:49:54 spectranaut_: Is there some way this could be fixed by a process that the CSSWG uses to get accessibility review at multiple stages? 17:50:10 ack ChrisCuellar 17:50:37 chrisCuellar: I was going to suggest a process, but maybe an earlier review than what they have now? 17:50:45 q+ 17:50:53 spectranaut_: There's the wide review before the spec is... 17:50:58 ack Daniel 17:51:33 Daniel: Ideally after the spec is first WD to CR, there should be a wide review process across 5 groups. The accessibility review is from APWG. 17:51:37 q+ 17:51:52 https://www.w3.org/2025/01/aria-charter#coordination 17:51:53 Daniel: The idea is that someone finds specific issues and can leave comments. 17:52:24 ack scott 17:52:56 scott: I was aware, and they are in some of the TAG reviews. But I was hoping someone in this group could do that work before it gets to review step. 17:52:58 q+ 17:53:02 q+ 17:53:23 scott: Early engagement could catch some. There's no interoperable way for mappings to be made outside of Chrome. 17:53:35 q+ 17:53:56 scott: Chrome dev team released a blog post of oddly created patterns and now we're just seeing reaction versus having caught it sooner. 17:53:58 ack melsumner 17:54:23 melsumner: I have an accessibility review process for products that work, that's like what Scott is describing. 17:55:02 melsumner: My process: when an idea first comes out, the PM must look at the accessibility policy to ensure they are in scope. 17:55:16 Then work has to look through the requirements to ensure they mathc. 17:55:34 melsumner: Then two rounds of review before release, with agreements to fix. 17:56:00 melsumner: The CSSWG needs to have acknowledgment that everything they make is accessible. 17:56:05 q+ 17:56:12 q+ 17:56:16 melsumner: But if someone has the bandwidth to join, great. 17:56:18 q- 17:56:26 ack me 17:56:31 s/Then work has/melsumner: Then work has 17:56:33 q- 17:56:35 jongund has joined #aria 17:56:47 should we have a deep dive on the carousel stuff? 17:57:07 jamesn: We need something to happen. It seems to go to last minute before accessibility review, and then they write documents on how _not_ to use it. 17:57:14 jamesn: Which people don't read anyway. 17:57:32 jamesn: The only way that seems feasible is to have accessibility people embedded in the WG. 17:57:38 q? 17:58:08 keithamus: I am on CSSWG, but didn't see this come up. I'll endeavor to bring the accessibility point of view to the WG. 17:58:23 jamesn: The AI conclusion is that you have volunteered, keithamus. 17:58:45 spectranaut_: I see sarah asked to do a deep dive on this; can you make an issue? 17:59:00 ack keithamus 17:59:12 scott: While it's shipped in one browser, it's fixable because it's not in other browsers. 17:59:25 keithamus: No signals from other browsers for interest. 17:59:35 Matt_King: I like the idea of a deep dive. 17:59:47 zakim, end meeeting 17:59:47 I don't understand 'end meeeting', aardrian 17:59:52 zakim, end meeting 17:59:52 As of this point the attendees have been smockle, aardrian, melsumner, katez, pkra, filippo-zorzi, Daniel, giacomo-petri, Rahim, sarah, ChrisCuellar, Matt_King, np-at, Siri, 17:59:55 ... keithamus, jcraig 17:59:55 RRSAgent, please draft minutes v2 17:59:56 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/03/27-aria-minutes.html Zakim 18:00:03 I am happy to have been of service, aardrian; please remember to excuse RRSAgent.
