Announcements

  1. Next User Agent face-to-face meeting in Boston on 1-2 March 2001

Discussion

  1. Update on joint meetings at all working group meeting
  2. Issue 389: Conformance: Hard to test conformance in an objective fashion.
    Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#389
    Status: I wrote the reviewer with clarifications and asked for comment. No response yet.
    http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2001JanMar/0038.html
    Proposed resolution by IJ: We have reduced some of the conformance requirements as a result of the reviewer's comments. We have worked very hard on this conformance scheme and rejected a number of others. If the reviewer has specific suggestions, we will consider them.
  3. Issue 443: Checkpoint 1.4: Device indepdent access to pointer (mouse) specific events.
    Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#443
    Status: The document currently requires emulation of mouse-specific controls by virtue of our requirement that the user must be able to do everything through the mouse.
    Discussion:
    a) Do we want to require the UA to repair device-specific bindings specified by the author?
    b) Do we have evidence that the ability to simulate mouse events through the keyboard benefits the user?
  4. Issue 448: Checkpoint 5.7: Is CSS read-only or read/write? [This is checkpoint 5.9 in the 13 January 2001 draft.]
    Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#448
    Comment: The reviewer's comment was "Is this section referring to viewing the page or editing the page? Why would a user need to access the CSS when viewing a document?"
    Proposed resolution by IJ: Make this requirement read-only access. - We already require that a conforming user agent allow the user to select and apply user style sheets (checkpoint 4.15 in 13 Jan 2001 draft). - We require that the user be able to operate the user agent through keyboard alone. - Therefore, the user should be able to apply user style sheets through the conforming UA's user interface. ATs do not need to write to user style sheets through an API. Can people suggest a scenario where the AT would need to write to the conforming user agent's user style sheet through an API?
  5. Issue 450: If UA is implemented in Java, what system conventions should it follow?
    Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#450
  6. Issue 451: Checkpoint 2.6: Generalize to decorative content, not just null alt
    Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#451
  7. Issue 452: Checkpoint 2.2: Review minimal requirement (three options?)
    Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#452
  8. Issue 453: Checkpoint 3.5: Generalize to "programmatic objects"
    Source:     http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#453
  9. Issue 454: Checkpoints 3.6/3.7: Should these be Priority 1?
    Source:     http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#454
  10. Issue 455: Guideline 4: Change to "Ensure user control of presentation"?
    Source:     http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#455
  11. Issue 456: Editorial: Need to clarify in section 3.2 that we do not mean system APIs
    Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#456
  12. Issue 457: Checkpoint 5.4: Ambiguity about what exactly required: standard APIs only?
    Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#457
  13. Issue 458: Do link highlighting requirements apply to all zones of an image map? What is required granularity?
    Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#458
