conclusion of discussion of issue 1316 ...

Proposed changes to assertion are not aligned with test writing guidelines. However, as written, VO can pass the assertion.

Braille is out of scope for current testing; only screen reader audio output is in scope for current test plans.

Matt will write explanitory comment on issue 1316 and tag James.

Summary Notes

Attendance was light (4 people) but continued with meeting anyway because had a new member join. We used some of the meeting time to explain the project. Most agenda items could not be addressed because we didn't have the needed people. So, the only agenda item discussed in detail was aria-at issue 1316.

Minutes manually created (not a transcript), formatted by scribe.perl version 248 (Mon Oct 27 20:04:16 2025 UTC).
