Re: Working Meeting for WCAG techniques - Thursday 15 May, 2014 - 4pm EDT

David, here is the task force feedback on your draft:

* We like this technique and would like to see it published in the next
update, if possible

* Logistics: it is very hard to read from github. We would really rather
have you start in the wiki, where it is also easier to make edits. (Like
fixing the typo in imporvements.


* We would like user agent notes that explain what current screen readers
do (e.g. order of reading, long delay in VoiceOver before description is
read) and that ARIA doesn't specify what the screen reader should do, so
the behavior may be unpredictable. In general, however, screen readers seem
to read the description automatically for links.

* Also, note somewhere that the descirption will not show up in link lists.
(Nothing prevents screen readers from including it, of course, but they
don't seem to be doing that.)

* We also think there should be a similar technique using aria-labelledby,
which has a different set of strengths and weaknesses (mostly related to
how screen readers handle it).
