PRESENT Ben Caldwell Wendy Chisholm Michael Cooper David MacDonald Chris Ridpath Roberto Scano DISCUSSION Action items from last week - further discussion of links, especially that open in a new window. The research done during the week was helpful but we also have more questions. Also discussed user agent support for OBJECT, which is all over the map. Reviewing the HTML Techniques [1] we continued with images, beginning with ASCII art. Much of the discussion focused on emoticons rather than classic ASCII art, and we decided to create separate techniques. On image maps we looked at current user agent support for the present techniques to make server-side and client-side image maps accessible, which generated a number of edits. Color in images and animated images we decided to move to the Gateway techniques, and discussed potential guideline impacts/needs related to these techniques. On Programmatic objects we decided that because of user agent support not to emphasize the OBJECT element as much. For the same reason we also decided we need to create techniques for the EMBED element, which creates interesting problems because it's not part of the HTML specification. And to maintain separation of technology, the HTML techniques will only describe methods within the HTML for providing fallbacks for the APPLET, OBJECT, and EMBED elements. Making programmatic objects directly accessible will be described in Gateway techniques or other technology-specific documents. We finished with audio and video, which was easy because we just decided to move that to Gateway techniques. Next week we hope to complete the review of the HTML techniques. Detailed log of discussion is at [2].
