WCAG resolutions from today's meeting

Today WCAG accepted the following items from the task force.

1. Proposed guidance for 3.2.4 Consistent Identification

RESOLUTION: Accepted as proposed

2. Edit to 2nd paragraph of 1.3.1 Info and Relationships INTENT

Sighted users perceive structure AND RELATIONSHIPS through various visual
cues — headings are often in a larger, bold font separated from paragraphs
by blank lines; list items are preceded by a bullet and perhaps indented;
paragraphs are separated by a blank line; form fields may be positioned as
groups that share text labels; a different background color may be used to
indicate that several items are related to each other; words that have
special status are indicated by changing the font family and /or bolding,
italicizing, or underlining them; ITEMS THAT SHARE A COMMON CHARACTERISTIC
ARE ORGANIZED INTO A TABLE WHERE THE RELATIONSHIP OF CELLS SHARING THE SAME
ROW OR COLUMN AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF EACH CELL TO ITS ROW AND/OR COLUMN
HEADER ARE NECESSARY FOR UNDERSTANDING; and so on. Having THESE structures
and relationships programmatically determined or available in text ensures
that information important for comprehension will be perceivable by all.

RESOLUTION: Accepted as proposed

3. Keyboard (2.1.1): Change to WCAG WG recommended edit to WCAG2ICT note
text

Note: This does not imply that software must directly support a keyboard or
"keyboard interface". NOR DOES IT IMPLY THAT SOFTWARE MUST PROVIDE A SOFT
KEYBOARD. Underlying platform software may provide device independent input
services to applications that enable operation via a keyboard. Software
that supports operation via such platform device independent services would
be operable by a keyboard and would comply.

RESOLUTION: Accepted as proposed

4. Pause, Stop, Hide (2.2.2): Change to WCAG WG recommended edit to
WCAG2ICT note text

Note: While the success criteria uses the term "information", the WCAG 2.0
INTENT section makes it clear that this is to be applied to all content.
Any content, whether informative or decorative, that IS UPDATED
AUTOMATICALLY, BLINKS OR MOVES MAY CREATE AN ACCESSIBILITY BARRIER.

RESOLUTION: Accepted as proposed
