Open issue summary for 1.2

Hi all,

I grouped the open issues into the four groups.  This should help us
figure out which one to watch out for as we work on 1.2 techniques.

Open issues with no effect on techniques

 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1601> 1601
suggests to move L2 SC to L1.  No effect on techniques.

 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1602> 1602
suggests to move L1 SC to L2.  No effect on techniques.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1704> 1704
suggests to move L1 SC to L2.  No effect on techniques.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1730> 1730
suggests to keep caption at L1.  May consider closing this.  No effect
on techniques.  
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1731> 1731
suggests to keep audio description at L1.  May consider closing this.
No effect on techniques.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1754> 1754
suggests to move captions from L1 to L2.  No effect on techniques.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1803> 1803
suggests that captions are more important than audio description.  No
effect on techniques. 
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1850> 1850
suggests to move 1.2.3 to L1.  No effect on techniques.
 
Open issues unlikely to have effect on techniques
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1152> 1152 asks
for exception or phase-in for multimedia.  Not likely to lead to change
in SC.  Unlikely to have effect on techniques.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1816> 1816 says,
"We want you to keep 1.2.2 to "Audio descriptions of video are provided
for pre-recorded multimedia". Then it is possible to listen to the text,
either the whole or just the one about what is happening, that is
provided in 1.2.1 perhaps in another language than the original. The
discussed change in the editorial note does not make it easier to get
what is needed."  I'm a bit confused about this one.  But this does not
appear to affect techniques work.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1824> 1824 says.
"I think it is a good idea to change to this version as it should
encourage at least a minimal level of accessibility vs. people not
trying at all. Same for 1.2.2".  Don't understand why this is still an
open issue.  No effect on techniques.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1862> 1862
suggests to expand the term multimedia from audio and video to tactile
and other sensories.  Availability of such technology is very limited
today.  Should not affect techniques work.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1370> 1370 is
incomprehensible.  Clarification needed.  No effect on techniques for
the time being.
 
Open issues that can be closed via techniques
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1534> 1534
suggests to use Stevie Wonder's site as example for providing lyrics.
Some concern over using copyrighted material.  Techniques work should
remove this issue.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1603> 1603
suggests techniques to create caption for real time material is
identical to that of pre-recorded material.  Techniques work should
remove this issue.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1604> 1604 refers
to use of upper case for caption of tutorial.  Techniques work may
remvoe this issue.
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1627> 1627
suggests sc 1.2.4 was written with assumption of "universal sign
language".  Techniques doc or modification of how to meet doc should
remove this issue.
 
Open issues that may have some effect on techniques upon resolution
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1729> 1729
suggests to add text transcript at L1 because caption may be too small
and insufficient.  May add more technique if wg decide to add to sc. 
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1732> 1732
suggests to change wording of "who benefit".  "Who Benefits from
Guideline 1.2: Both sentences should include " and transcripts" at the
end. Otherwise the benefits of transcripts are not made clear." May
affect techniques and how to meet doc. 
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1765> 1765 debates
that text transcript should be an option.  Outcome of the debate may
affect sc, how to, and techniques docs. 
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1815> 1815
suggests that 1.2.1 should provide collated transcript.  Similar to
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1765> 1765.
Outcome of the debate may affect sc, how to, and techniques docs. 
 
 <http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1841> 1841 suggest
to remove the term multimedia as it is too vague.  Outcome of the debate
may affect sc, how to, and techniques docs.
