14:22:50 <matatk> https://github.com/w3c/a11y-request/issues/171
14:24:50 <janina> matatk: Does not display to the user according to the HR request form
14:26:00 <janina> janina: Have reviewed in the past; found no issues per my recollection
14:26:26 <janina> matatk: Too low level for our concerns
14:26:34 <JenStrickland> This one item seems worth reflection: The technologies DO create objects that don't have an inherent text representation
14:26:34 <JenStrickland> The image property references a visual identifier (such as a logo, photograph, or icon) that has no inherent text representation. The specification does not define a dedicated text-alternative property for the referenced image; consuming applications that display the image should supply an accessible alternative, for which the entity's name is a
14:26:34 <JenStrickland> reasonable source. This is the primary accessibility consideration worth flagging for review.
14:26:35 <janina> matatk: We should likely close
14:27:18 <janina> Fazio: Notes use cases--Sec 2
14:27:22 <janina> matatk: Nice!

14:40:40 <matatk> PaulG: The web is for people and we need to encourage people to build UI so people can check things - if we go the other way, this will not happen and we won't be able to build trustworthy sites.
14:41:02 <matatk> janina: If the W3C stamp matters on a spec, then we need to consider people's needs.
