Mike, Part of the benefit is the ability for a tool to recognize the button purpose and add an icon or replace the text with an image. Of course, if that tool also looked at the button labels and responded to labels like “print” and “home” then the same result could be reached. I do think that “reply”, “forward”, and “print” are very commonly if not universally used in English-language sites, but am not sure if this is such a major issue. We could and may wind up removing some of these due to implementation results or comments on the draft.

Can anyone think of a situationn where the button that forwards an email to someone else would be labelled as anything other than "forward"? It's a very specific term to a specific type of application. It just seems out of place to me compared to other more broadly used functions on this list which could have synonyms used in labels. Even some more globally used functions like "print" have a similar 'hard' function name. Tough to think of use cases where the word "print" would not be the label. I'm assuming there's a concern that a string like "Print document" is a synonym so that may not be understood, so the purpose needs to be clarified?

The form is divided into sections on me and on my spouse and on my offspring. So there are name fields all over the place, and those name fields my even be labelled the same (i.e., the section heading says "spouse" but the labels are the same on the inputs as on the ones for user). That would be crappy design, in my opinion, but I can see it happening. In such a scenario -- or even in ones less dire -- I think we have to ensure that our purpose designations don't actually make that experience more confusing.

So, for example, the name information that I encounter when filling out a form for a child or an employee would be marked up with name metadata and I could benefit from the metadata, but if I am using a form that requires that I enter information that includes my name and that of a family member only one should be used.

For example, on a form that collects multiple Names, Addresses, and Phone Numbers, content authors are only required to ensure that fields related to the actual user are addressed by this requirement. Thoughts?

After the meeting a lot of work went into this SC, and we have an implemented version (two, actually) for people to review and think about. Things that have changed: 1. All listed items have definitions. 2. The lists are moved from an appendix to a section of the document, and are to be regarded as normative. 3. The term “user interface components” is used more consistently throughout the SC and additional section. a. The SC is retitled “Identify Purpose” as the previous “purpose of controls” mixes the User interface Component and “control” language and this seems clearer. 4. Within the lists, a few item groupings are collapsed into a single top-level item. Name, Address, and Telephone are examples of this. So if you build a form you need to make sure that the appropriate address field purposes are conveyed, and this helps with internationalization as well as to accommodate for different design decisions (e.g. one form uses “Full Street Address” and another has “address 1, “address 2”, etc – both need the purpose to be properly conveyed). One item to think about: A comment was raised at TPAC and since then as well that for the input control purposes we need to focus on the user’s information. So, instead of name inputs controls being about anyone, they are about the user directly. The concern is that if autofill attributes are used to satisfy this that a form with name fields for many people (e.g. HR system, booking a flight for a family) that there will be a lot of inaccurate information potentially automatically added to the form. If we agree that this is a problem, then we will need to adjust a handful of other input purposes (e.g. address, email, etc.). So, here’s the latest draft: * With “AT RISK” items from yesterday: http://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/purpose_of_controls_changes2/guidelines/index.html#identify-purpose<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttps-3A__na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttp-253A-252F-252Frawgit.com-252Fw3c-252Fwcag21-252Fpurpose-5Fof-5Fcontrols-5Fchanges2-252Fguidelines-252Findex.html-2523identify-2Dpurpose-26data-3D02-257C01-257Cakirkpat-2540adobe.com-257C0a969142de2643a9e24d08d537fffaa1-257Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1-257C0-257C0-257C636476494921262784-26sdata-3Dr-252BuFRI8Z03ZRPLXeNH2zz2R75fPTwYIJQiNBI7oZKFI-253D-26reserved-3D0%26d%3DDwMGaQ%26c%3Djf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg%26r%3D_9rqR3xSCWQUlv9VpOcJwkP7H0XWQXmxeMmqQl6Fikc%26m%3DglgV84Vn-MJZDintvHCtsHI1k-gy3b9V__dHBXk_nMM%26s%3DQggGMWISuFJhonWex2td1T17wbvERSY3jro1WvmLEaU%26e%3D&data=02%7C01%7Cakirkpat%40adobe.com%7C8c6b9477aca04c4dc6f608d538087eef%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C636476531503026083&sdata=gSQCwkCOxjEMkna8tBsP%2FNw%2FHqIq15PC0pLtWoumiFo%3D&reserved=0> * Without “AT RISK” items from yesterday: http://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/purpose_of_controls_changes3/guidelines/index.html#identify-purpose<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttps-3A__na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttp-253A-252F-252Frawgit.com-252Fw3c-252Fwcag21-252Fpurpose-5Fof-5Fcontrols-5Fchanges3-252Fguidelines-252Findex.html-2523identify-2Dpurpose-26data-3D02-257C01-257Cakirkpat-2540adobe.com-257C0a969142de2643a9e24d08d537fffaa1-257Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1-257C0-257C0-257C636476494921262784-26sdata-3DSiNU6DB0-252BGOzMKzI-252Fl5ZnaNox-252BDWwsADKavjLz5Hs-252Bg-253D-26reserved-3D0%26d%3DDwMGaQ%26c%3Djf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg%26r%3D_9rqR3xSCWQUlv9VpOcJwkP7H0XWQXmxeMmqQl6Fikc%26m%3DglgV84Vn-MJZDintvHCtsHI1k-gy3b9V__dHBXk_nMM%26s%3DU_y90s9cxfHeW5i9dUlbzjQ3QaytMf4sLIPAirbMoNg%26e%3D&data=02%7C01%7Cakirkpat%40adobe.com%7C8c6b9477aca04c4dc6f608d538087eef%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C636476531503026083&sdata=QM2Oc%2B0c8wviE%2Flb0ZK5TwAJ%2BvvjBzHyU1U7jzRw2NI%3D&reserved=0> Thanks, AWK Andrew Kirkpatrick Group Product Manager, Accessibility Adobe akirkpat@adobe.com<mailto:akirkpat@adobe.com> http://twitter.com/awkawk<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttps-3A__na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttp-253A-252F-252Ftwitter.com-252Fawkawk-26data-3D02-257C01-257Cakirkpat-2540adobe.com-257C0a969142de2643a9e24d08d537fffaa1-257Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1-257C0-257C0-257C636476494921262784-26sdata-3Dzr-252B-252Bmv-252BP4aaZiT-252FHCieH7UmVruRj0VhveJg-252F-252BovCrys-253D-26reserved-3D0%26d%3DDwMGaQ%26c%3Djf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg%26r%3D_9rqR3xSCWQUlv9VpOcJwkP7H0XWQXmxeMmqQl6Fikc%26m%3DglgV84Vn-MJZDintvHCtsHI1k-gy3b9V__dHBXk_nMM%26s%3DE9v6EcDL5IP_pvT1rv7jw3ctqBYqPe2eRn-dvk7SAH4%26e%3D&data=02%7C01%7Cakirkpat%40adobe.com%7C8c6b9477aca04c4dc6f608d538087eef%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C636476531503026083&sdata=UMhZb7sZACd8nfl0K3%2FIAEK9AbMq76Er4BFR05rZq0k%3D&reserved=0> -- John Foliot Principal Accessibility Strategist Deque Systems Inc. john.foliot@deque.com<mailto:john.foliot@deque.com> Advancing the mission of digital accessibility and inclusion
