As an augmentation, symbols are helpful, but need standardization - which is the reason for the workshop. 14:07:15 Fredrik has joined #apa 14:07:28 present+ 14:07:58 Janina: Feel free to join if you like - it is in progress but contributions welcome 14:08:42 zakim, next item 14:08:42 agendum 2 -- Respec & Dark Mode -- taken up [from janina] 14:09:18 https://github.com/speced/respec/issues/4871 14:11:40 steveF has joined #apa 14:11:49 present+ 14:12:05 kirkwood has joined #APA 14:12:07 matatk: Some W3C docs support dark mode well, some don't. Of the two tools we use, Respec has the ability to support dark mode but the rendered style sheet don't always support viewing so that rendering mode is not A11y supporting. We need someone to help fix the underlying style sheet. Looking for a technical volunteer to make fixes. 14:13:34 Janina: Without a default compliant dark mode, drafts are limited. Neha would like to help and matatk will pass information around via the mailing list to keep everyone up to date. 14:14:02 matatk: Suggested, review to see what needs to be fixed, then move on to potentially fixed. 14:14:24 zakim, next item 14:14:24 agendum 3 -- New on /TR -- taken up [from janina] 14:14:40 subtopic: CSS Form Control Styling Level 1 14:14:41 https://github.com/w3c/apa-review/issues/19 14:16:10 PaulG: Looking to make styling controls more consistent across browsers.

PaulG feels that it might be worth pointing out at least to understand the advantages of using native controls to style. 14:20:34 matatk: Would be worthwhile checking to see if an accessibility consideration section would add value? 14:24:07 PaulG: For anyone who is a good auditor, jumping in now to participate and contribute at the core level would be great 14:24:33 subtopic: ContentEditable 14:24:34 https://github.com/w3c/apa-review/issues/18 14:25:18 matatk: First public working draft - this has accessibility consideration section, but not yet written up. 14:25:58 matatk: We will have to come back to this .

These are public facing threads so no internal discussion thread is set up. We need to figure out a process for discussion. 14:32:24 subtopic: webauthn-3 14:32:24 https://github.com/w3c/a11y-request/issues/101 14:32:24 Due: 2025-03-31 14:33:14 Comments from Fredrik from 2021: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2021May/0048.html 14:34:03 matatk: For web authentication, we are good with it. One remaining item, when last reviewed May 2021- in this current review, were older comments out of date? Fredrik: Many changes made, old comments not an issue any more 14:34:19 zakim, next item 14:34:19 agendum 5 -- [Comment review requests](https://w3c.github.io/horizontal-issue-tracker/?repo=w3c/a11y-review) -- taken up [from janina] 14:34:45 subtopic: Alternative text for short-form video 14:34:45 source: whatwg/html#11080 14:34:45 tracking: https://github.com/w3c/a11y-review/issues/225 14:36:48 matatk: Questions from APA - do we need anything else or can we close? 14:37:15 matatk: If there are questions after the call, feel free to connect 14:39:00 matatk: Second question around roles - do we need a video role? There a 'model' element being proposed that like video/audio but has a 3d rendered model inside. If device can handle it and render it, it will be used. Is this a media element like video? 14:39:18 q+ 14:40:53 We~re on a role! 14:40:59 matatk: Models can be very big - a preview of the model via a video as a kind of thumbnail might work. We should start thinking about it, maybe other elements might also need a role too. 14:41:50 Demo of - the element will be a lot like this (with extras): https://modelviewer.dev/ 14:42:20 q- 14:42:22 Fredrik: This definitely should have some asynch discussion - model tag would be interesting in terms of new input modalities. Write and list discussion might be good 14:43:02 +1 14:43:03 matatk: Thoughts on role for video? 14:43:08 +1 14:43:17 +1 14:43:21 +1 14:43:39 q+ 14:43:49 I'll need to step away for the rest fo the meeting, but I'd like to state for the rec ord that I am in favour of the model tag if that is a discussion at all. :) 14:43:51 ack JonCohn 14:43:52 q+ 14:43:59 matatk: General support for video - what's missing from what we currently have? 14:44:14 q+ 14:44:21 ack Dr_Keith 14:44:25 q+ to ask about an audio role as well? 14:45:05 ack PaulG 14:45:07 q+ 14:45:13 Dr_Keith: Should have a role because devs are doing things ad hoc. A proper role would be a good alternative. 14:47:09 ack janina 14:47:09 janina, you wanted to ask about an audio role as well? 14:47:14 PaulG: Having a role that gives users an expectation of what they could experience with video would be good. More efficient 14:47:37 Janina: Note that there's an audio role but it isn't much/well used. 14:47:39 ack steveF 14:50:20 https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aam-1.0/#el-video 14:50:32 steveF: Video element exposed as a grouping element. Some platforms have a sub role of video. Should perhaps go the ARIA working group? 14:52:37 matatk: Images have a role, etc. If video could be directly interacted with, there might be advantages. Worth looking at ARIA group issues to understand if this has already been discussed and considered. 14:52:56 steveF: Will check in the ARIA group to see if this has been discussed already. 14:54:23 matatk: Are there pain points in the spec for focus? 14:54:29 zakim, next item 14:54:29 agendum 6 -- [CSS Update (Paul)](https://github.com/w3c/css-a11y/issues) -- taken up [from janina] 14:56:05 s/Janina: There is a path forward on building new technology around AI and W3C.
