17:42:55 [trackbot]
      action-1548 -- Léonie Watson to Write revised proposal for
      aria-current based on today’s meeting for issue 587 -- due 2015-01-08
      -- OPEN
17:42:55 [trackbot]
      https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1548

17:43:50 [LJWatson]
      Aria-current attribute
17:43:52 [LJWatson]
17:43:53 [LJWatson]
      Indicates the element that represents the current item within a
      container or set of related elements.
17:43:55 [LJWatson]
17:43:56 [LJWatson]
      The aria-current attribute is an enumerated type. Any value not
      included in the list of allowed values must be treated by user agents
      as if the value true
17:43:58 [LJWatson]
      had been provided. If the attribute is not present or its value is an
      empty string, the default value of false applies and the aria-current
      state must
17:43:59 [LJWatson]
      not be exposed by user agents or assistive technologies.
17:44:01 [LJWatson]
17:44:02 [LJWatson]
      The aria-current attribute is used when an element within a set of
      related elements is visually styled to indicate it is the current
      item in the set. For
17:44:04 [LJWatson]
      example:
17:44:05 [LJWatson]
17:44:07 [LJWatson]
      The page token could be used to indicate a link within a set of
      pagination links, where the link is visually styled to represent the
      currently displayed
17:44:08 [LJWatson]
      page.
17:44:10 [LJWatson]
      The step token could be used to indicate a link within a step
      indicator for a step-based process, where the link is visually styled
      to represent the current
17:44:11 [LJWatson]
      step.
17:44:13 [LJWatson]
      The location token could be used to indicate the image that is
      visually highlighted as the current component of a flowchart.
17:44:14 [LJWatson]
      The date token could be used to indicate the current date within a
      calendar.
17:44:16 [LJWatson]
      The time token could be used to indicate the current time within a
      timetable.
17:44:17 [LJWatson]
17:44:19 [LJWatson]
      Note:
17:44:20 [LJWatson]
      The aria-current attribute is similar to the aria-selected attribute,
      but there are important differences. For example in a listbox widget
      for choosing
17:44:22 [LJWatson]
      between pages of search results, aria-current would be used to
      indicate the option representing the currently displayed page of
      results, Whereas aria-selected
17:44:23 [LJWatson]
      would be used to indicate the page of results the user had selected
      to be displayed next.
17:44:25 [LJWatson]
17:44:26 [LJWatson]
      Characteristics of aria-current
17:44:28 [LJWatson]
      Used in roles: All elements of the base markup.
17:44:29 [LJWatson]
      Value: token
17:44:31 [LJWatson]
      values of aria-current:
17:44:32 [LJWatson]
      page = Represents the current page within a set of pages.
17:44:34 [LJWatson]
      step = Represents the current step within a process.
17:44:35 [LJWatson]
      location = Represents the current location within an environment or
      context.
17:44:37 [LJWatson]
      date = Represents the current date within a collection of dates.
17:44:38 [LJWatson]
      time = Represents the current time within a set of times.
17:44:40 [LJWatson]
      true = Represents a current item within a set.
17:44:41 [LJWatson]
      false = Default.

      MK: Landmark is abstract.
17:56:47 [LJWatson]
      RS: On first pass think this looks pretty cool.
17:58:49 [LJWatson]
      RS: One thing in landmark but not region... MK: Was doing most of the
      editing on this, after Joanie changed the hierarchy.
18:00:37 [LJWatson]
      FE: It says "must have aria-label..."
18:00:44 [LJWatson]
      MK: No, it's not a must.
18:01:30 [LJWatson]
      MK: aria-labelledby is used to reference visible content, and I think
      that's better. I editorialised but didn't strike out stuff.

18:03:37 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Rich: aside from linking to section in region prose I though this was
      fine
18:04:38 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: one unique example. A region that included options for a data
      table. Above and below it, it says rows 15 to 1000, rows per page,
18:05:14 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: So, we had put a navigation region around it an labelled it
      results. It is exactly the same content above and below the table
18:05:29 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: It seems to violate a sensory perception rule
18:05:41 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: It mad it completely pointless
18:06:45 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: we have a navigation region labelled results. So, we have two
      regions having the same results. Both provide navigation have the
      same results above and below the table
18:07:06 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: the table was jut called results
18:07:19 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: you have results table and results navigation above and below
      the table
18:07:30 [jamesn]
      jamesn has joined #aria
18:07:42 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: you can see that the navigation agenda is there above and below
18:07:52 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: giving them the same label is helpful
18:08:24 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: I thought about adding location information in the label was
      not helpful
18:08:30 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Rich: that is a WCAG violation
18:08:56 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: results navigation located at the top of the table
18:09:04 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      joseph: is there an aria-controls?
18:09:25 [Zakim]
      +James_Nurthen
18:09:25 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      Matt: the labels are not unique and we have a normative unique
      requirement.

      right are
18:13:11 [richardschwerdtfeger]
      jamen: not
18:15:06 [clown]
      spelling mistake in landmark text at end of first paragraph: "by
      providing a dbrief, descriptive label". "brief" not "dbrief".
18:17:13 [Susann_Keohane]
      rich: if you have 2 at the same level with the same name that would
      be a potential problem
18:17:41 [Susann_Keohane]
      rich: my concern is that is will be a manual test
18:18:00 [mattking]
      An element with role region must have a unique label that describes
      the purpose of its content. Authors should reference a visible label
      with
18:18:02 [mattking]
      aria-labelledby
18:18:03 [mattking]
      if a visible label is present. Authors should include the label
      inside of a heading whenever possible. The heading may be an instance
      of the standard
18:18:05 [mattking]
      host language heading element or an instance of an element with role
18:18:07 [mattking]
      heading.
18:18:41 [clown]
      "An element with role region must have a label that describes the
      purpose of its content"
18:18:43 [Susann_Keohane]
      mattking: if you take the word unique out it doesn't change the
      testing requirements. With the work unique you have a manual test
18:19:02 [Susann_Keohane]
      mattking: w/o the word unique you still have the same manual test
      requirement
18:19:51 [Susann_Keohane]
      mattking: this is like link text, you have a unique requirement with
      the link labels. the manual test that the link describes it target
18:20:16 [Susann_Keohane]
      mattking: also like alt text, you must have alt text and it needs to
      be appropiate
18:20:48 [Susann_Keohane]
      jamesn: if you are only testing uniqueness you are fooling yourself
      you are testing requirement
18:21:07 [Susann_Keohane]
      rich: any manual test drives cost through the roof
18:22:00 [Susann_Keohane]
      mattking: unique label cause developers to make ugly labels to be
      unique
18:23:05 [Susann_Keohane]
      mattking: proposes that uniqueness not be in the verbiage
18:23:30 [Susann_Keohane]
      jamesn: rather flag it for developers to ensure they are doing the
      same thing if not there is a problem
18:23:37 [Susann_Keohane]
      rich: what's the groups decision
18:23:45 [jamesn]
      unique removed
