Announcements

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

Discussion

1. 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.
2. Issue 452: Checkpoint 2.2: Review minimal requirement (three options?)
   Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#452
   
3. 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
   
4. Issue 455: Guideline 4: Change to "Ensure user control of presentation"?
   Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#455
   
5. 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
   
6. 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
   
7. 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
   
8. 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?
