Review Action Items

Announcements

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

Discussion

  1. Coordination of joint meetings with DOM and CSS
  2. 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?
  3. 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
  4. Issue 394: Checkpoint 2.1: Vague about what cannot be provided through a source view
