It is somewhat less. 14:10:11 ... headings become less usable on small devices. I believe that is why we came up with alternative language 14:10:56 q+ to ask if MATF still work in progress -- but do they have proposed replacement language for 1.4.4 ? 14:11:22 ... MaryJo talks to 2024 WCAG2ICT current note vs. 2013 note. 14:12:17 Note 2 on WCAG2ICT talks to user settings in platform. 14:12:22 q+ 14:12:43 EN thought that was introducing exception that wasn't in WCAG and kept notes from 2013. 14:12:49 q? 14:13:15 MaryJo: Lets keep the conversation on non web software first. 14:13:20 ack bbailey 14:13:20 bbailey, you wanted to ask if MATF still work in progress -- but do they have proposed replacement language for 1.4.4 ? 14:13:46 Bruce: MATF is working but have they looked at 1.4.4 too? 14:13:56 MaryJo: I think it is as conversation level. 14:14:22 https://github.com/w3c/matf/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%201.4.4 14:14:57 They are talking to it per the above issues in their repo as of June 18th 14:15:25 See column three at https://github.com/w3c/matf/issues/3#issuecomment-2490573410 14:15:50 Link to WCAG2Mobile: https://www.w3.org/TR/wcag2mobile-22/ 14:16:12 Gregg: Do you have the link? 14:16:17 Column 3 second table parenthetical 14:16:35 Link to the MATF issue 3 on 1.4.4: https://github.com/w3c/matf/issues/3 14:16:37 MaryJo: Yes, research link is provided on read issue 3 on their current note for 1.4.4 14:16:42 q? 14:16:46 ack GreggVan 14:17:21 Gregg: Mobile Task force seems to be part of ICT. It makes it hard as EN covers mobile. 14:18:24 On the 2024 note, it reads that if it doesn't support, you don't have to do anything. If OS doesn't provide it, you don't have to do anything. 14:18:29 Note 2 (Added): For non-web software, there may be cases where the platform provides zoom features, but it does not scale all text up to 200%. In such cases, authors are encouraged to meet user needs by scaling text to the extent supported by user settings in the platform. 14:18:52 iOS -- widely regarded as perfectly satisfactory on this accessibility detail -- only does 153% for "large title" AND THAT IS FINE 14:18:56 MaryJo: I pasted in a proposed text. 14:19:28 Gregg: We can't suggest WCAG make changes but we can say when in non-web do something different. 14:19:39 q+ 14:19:45 q? 14:19:50 ack GreggVan 14:20:10 q+ to say that is too much of a loop hole 14:20:50 Gregg: reads as scaling text only as much as the OS does it for you. Still reads as not required to do anything. Provision talks to loss of functionality, correct? 14:21:18 It needs to say it needs to be different , but not in a note, as it is an exception. 14:21:46 should read as doesn't apply as written, then state why without that why being in a note. 14:22:11 https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#resize-text 14:22:12 Except for captions and images of text, text can be resized without assistive technology up to 200 percent without loss of content or functionality. 14:22:20 state need to support without loss of functionality aspect and when you zoom it doesn't destroy content. 14:22:21 q? 14:23:45 Gregg: Content doesn't break when zoomed is what you are after. Original SC was on 200 percent as all browsers supported it. 14:24:27 ack bbailey 14:24:27 bbailey, you wanted to say that is too much of a loop hole 14:25:35 Bruce: If the platform doesn't provide anything , it is a pass. It didn't seem strong enough to me. 14:25:45 Normative language would be better as: Except for captions and images of text, text can be resized without assistive technology up to 200 percent or supports the platform-supplied text resizing capabilities up to 200 percent without loss of content or functionality. 14:26:04 Gregg: You can change it when it doesn't apply to web content. 14:26:45 Gregg: If I have a document that is on the web, then take it off the web and vice versa, you'd need to follow appropriate steps. 14:26:45 q? 14:27:10 Mike: I don't think we have a comment like that. 14:27:11 q? 14:27:24 Gregg: We try to follow WCAG when we can. 14:27:24 q? 14:27:56 MaryJo: On closed system, there is something. 14:28:10 q? 14:28:33 Proposed: NOTE 2: For non-web software, there may be cases where the platform does not scale all text up to 200% @@but does provide a zoom feature@@. In such cases, authors are encouraged to meet user needs by scaling text to the extent supported by user settings in the platform. 14:28:37 q+ 14:28:39 q? 14:29:10 Bruce: I pasted MaryJo's proposed note 2 and added words. 14:29:49 Q+ 14:30:11 MaryJo: I did talk to normative change in IRC. 14:31:20 Mike: We have one requirement and it is different on closed vs. not closed. 14:31:34 q? 14:32:33 MaryJo: for normative change, wordsmiths in Google doc. 14:34:50 Gregg: The normative change doesn't have if platform doesn't have capability to resize. I think the wording should be or , if the platform provides... 14:35:04 q+ to say 2 problems 14:35:39 1 of 2) doesn't require minimal features of platform 14:36:29 2 of 2) probably we should have exception for closed when size is .25 inch (or whatever) 14:36:51 Link to google doc 14:36:53 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VN1LQG_iI6ySWSc-XBgfE6d_aHQRUy_CjMGktPdFenM/edit?usp=sharing 14:37:00 q? 14:37:17 ack bbailey 14:37:17 bbailey, you wanted to say 2 problems 14:38:02 Bruce: I think this is similar to what we have in 508. If we allow platform features, then we have expectations on those platforms. 14:38:46 Bruce: We don't want to failing iOS when iOS is doing well. 14:39:36 Gregg: Text size vs. zooming is different. You want to cover the reflow , etc. 14:39:37 q? 14:39:42 ack Mike_Pluke 14:40:01 Mike: no other comment. 14:40:01 q? 14:41:09 q? 14:41:15 3of2) wouldn't want iOS current feature set to be a fail 14:42:00 Gregg: Wordsmiths on the 1.4.4 text resizing language. 14:43:20 group continues to wordsmith on Google Doc. 14:44:13 Gregg: Do we have text resizing on platforms, Mike? 14:44:24 Mike: I don't believe so. 14:44:44 MaryJo: I believe the text in Google doc provides relief to mobile per what we have here. 14:44:45 q? 14:45:17 Gregg: This meets original intent on WCAG on the not breaking when zooming to 200 percent. 14:46:14 MaryJo: We'd want to split out documents vs. non-web software. 14:46:38 Gregg: Documents shouldn't have to add code. 14:46:52 Gregg: talks to dialog boxes being laid out dynamically. 14:47:08 MaryJo: It may be more of an issue in web content. 14:47:23 Gregg: Mike? 14:47:39 Mike: Looks good , to capturing essentials. 14:47:50 Gregg: this would be an actual change and not a note. 14:48:02 Gregg: This would be a different provision for non-web software. 14:48:03 q? 14:48:23 MaryJo: Suggested normative change for non-web software alone and documents? 14:48:59 Gregg: More important for documents. 14:49:50 MaryJo: I will provide link to table in work for week https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/wiki/Work-for-the-week , please review further and provide feedback on the doc please for next week 14:49:51 q? 14:49:58 TOPIC: Issue 612 - 2.5.7 Dragging Movements - "underlying platform software" vs "user agent or platform software 14:50:08 Link to issue 612: https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/612 14:50:16 +1 14:50:23 q? 14:50:27 Link to comment with instances of “underlying platform software”: https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/612#issuecomment-2880957938 14:50:36 MaryJo: we made adjustments to the bolding. 14:50:38 Link to PR 734: https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/pull/734 14:51:55 MaryJo: Shows changes , example shown is 1.4.11 user agent and platform software are bolded vs. not bold. 14:52:01 DRAFT RESOLUTION: Incorporate PR 734, making use of "underlying platform software" and "user agent or other platform software" consistent throughout 14:52:09 +1 14:52:09 +1 14:52:12 +1 14:52:38 +1 14:52:43 Gregg: Will you send Mike a list of the edits? 14:52:56 RESOLUTION: Incorporate PR 734, making use of "underlying platform software" and "user agent or other platform software" consistent throughout 14:53:05 MaryJo: Yes, once it is done.
