- Accessible video:
- review issues and drafting any new success criteria needed. (video issues email thread)
- video issues raised by HTML5 WG "native rendering of video and
communication with AccessAPI"
(email thread)
- "Rendered Natively" is a cause for concern, as UAAG does not have a definition. This definition would also apply to UAs that have native support for SVG, MathML, etc.
- In addition to the DOM, should the UA explicitly communicate the role and state of controls to the appropriate accessibility API or platform accessibility mechanism?
- How does the UA reveal the keybindings, if any, to the user?
- The author may provide scripted controls in place of the native controls. Should the user be able to override or toggle between the author supplied controls and UA supplied controls?
