Discussion

  1. All working group meeting coordination
  2. Issue 455: Guideline 4: Change to "Ensure user control of presentation"?
    Source:     http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#455
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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?
  7. Definition Issues:
    1. Issue 359: Definition: text content (incompatible with WCAG?)
    2. Issue 358: Definition: Equivalent
    3. Issue 322: The definition of the word element
    4. Issue 321: Equivalency relationships and the wording of checkpoint 2.3
