BBC Comments


   SM: these are great comments

   ... 3.6, comment about CC-10 about rendering background colors

   in full range of opacity


   [reads]


   scribe: enable background area to extend to a preset distance

   relative to the foreground text...


   JF: Overall I agree. sounds overly prescriptive about how much

   padding should be applied. Don't think we should have a

   physical measurment


   SM: I don't think he is saying that. just that it should be

   expandable.


   JF: who is responsible that the padding exists? author, user

   agent? both?


   SM: i think it would be both


   MS: depends on if the controls are rendered by the UA or the

   author


   JS: developers are reminded that readability is enhanced when

   padding is provided... etc.


   JF: this would be a should requirement, right


   SM: not specified in the comment


   <JF> SHOULD as in RFC 2119, and not a MUST


   JF: lets wordsmith it offline.


   SM: I'm happy to do that and add it at the end of the CC

   section

   ... CC-11, rendering text in a range of colors


   [reads]


   scribe: recommend that full color customization is available

   ... I think we are kind of saying that already


   JS: I like what he says


   SM: I agree. its well written


   JF: I believe that the requirement is already there.

   ... this adds some justification

   ... but doesn't change the requirement


   JS: Maybe add to the explanatory tex.t its very well written.

   worth capturing


   SM: JF thinks that there is already a requirement for this, but

   I don't think there is. There is a note about this.

   ... I would probably add this to that note


   JS: do we want to elevate this?

   ... get it out of the note


   JF: We can take out "Note" then its just a continuation of the

   requirement


   JS: I'm happy with that


   JF: me too

   ... WebVTT uses standard CSS, which aids this.


   SM: CC-12 Thicker outline to allow for better contrast


   [reads]


   scribe: preferable to not use drop shadows


   JS: so it should be user customizable...


   SM: which is what I am assuming with use of the word enabled.


   JS: Happy to accept this clarification


   SM: should clarify that its enable able by user


   [agreement]


   SM: CC-13 preferable to keep the caption background when

   frequent captions, but should fade away when captions are

   infrequent

   ... proposal, remove this requirement,

   ... alt proposal, change it is preferable to it should be

   possible.


   [agreement on proposal 2]


   SM: I was surprised we had this as a MUST

   ... CC-14 paint on with pop up captions

   ... proposal to add a 2 notes to the section:


   [reads]


   JS: Makes sense to me now that its brought up


   SM: final words are available for enough time that they can be

   read.

   ... i don't want that to be a note. should be a requirement....


   [agreement]


   scribe: take the first proposal and make it a note. the 2nd

   should be included in the base requirement

   ... this happens to me at the gym all the time due to

   commercials interrupting the captions

   ... CC-15, lowest line of captions, 1/12 of the total height

   above the bottom

   ... not global, as the measurement appears to be arbitrary.

   specificity should be removed.


   JF: I tend to agree. don't like to be overly prescriptive


   SM: I think we should say "a reasonable gap e.g. 1/12th, etc."


   [agreement]


   JF: Its a hint/suggestion, not a requirement


   <ShaneM> crap


   <ShaneM> I was being briliant too


   <janina> Zakim lost you!


   is that how they spell it in England?


   SM: the next comment is a proposal for new req.

   ... my reaction is that this is covered by CC-9


   JS: If we want to add any explanatory, just add it there re

   screen sizes and differences


   JF: the end user should be able to adjust this.


   JS: Happy to expand the one that is there. don't think we need

   to add a new one


   SM: often beneficial optimized for the technology used on

   device, e.g. on android, helvetica doesn't render well, so

   roboto font should be available

   ... optimized for readability to use font that is preferred

   when they are available


   JF: I think that comment goes back to the comment on styling.

   To do this, you would load a different stylesheet based on

   media query.

   ... author requirement not a user requirement,


   SM: I don't see it that way. I want the platform to offer this

   ... a preferred font, based on what it knows about itself


   JS: I think we agree that this should happen and should be

   supported


   SM: CC-11 says user has control. isn't this already covered?


   JS: We could expand 9 like we did with 11


   SM: to agree with JF, it would be nice to advise authors to do

   this, not to leave it up to user

   ... is it valuable for us to say that in the context of CC 11

   ... or somewhere else?


   JF: sounds like a production note to me

   ... in WCAG we have SC requirements and techniques that allow

   ... propose a technique

   ... we don't really have techniques in there (yet)


   SM: a note that says while users have control... preferable

   that authors tune their content to target device as well using

   media queries, etc.


   JS: I'm happy with that


   JF: lets wordsmith this. I think we're all on the same track

   here. just needs to be worded carefully


   SM: Can I run a draft by you JF?


   JF: yes


   SM: 4.7 use of the viewport

   ... VP-5 lower third, where controls are usually rendered.

   avoid conflicts, esp if controls available on command.

   ... i thought that was really strict


   JF: its saying we don't want controls to be obscured by

   captions or vice versa


   SM: or you can imagine a situation where those things fight,

   because there is so much captioning

   ... also important to avoid conflicts with other essential

   content

   ... strongly disagree with the stacking requirement in the note

   ... our note suggest stacking

   ... comment is that the best place is likely at the top of the

   video, where it won't obscure

   ... suggests edit to suggest this


   JF: I say replace the existing note with that


   SM: he means away from important parts of underlying video


   JS: we should get clarification on that


   SM: i lik the phrase "editorially important"


   JF: I'm not opposed to this. I think consistency is the

   important thing

   ... just saying we want to avoid overlapping content

   ... maybe some wordsmithing is required here, but this is

   pretty good start

      [8] http://transition.fcc.gov/cgb/dro/cvaa.html


   JS: I will be unavailable at this time next week

   ... still have to review all this wordsmithing and then tweak

   the responses to commenters. then we are done.

   ... ok to meet without me?


   SM: so we're adding a couple of requirements, these will need

   to trickle down to the checklist. JF, can you do this>?


   JF: I can do that, just let me know when you're done adding

   those

   ... there is a must, should, may component that will need to be

   verified as well
