W3C User Agent Teleconference for 13 April 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------- Chair: Jim Allan Date: Thursday, 13 April 2006 Time: 2:00-3:00 pm Boston Local Time, USA (19:00-20:00 UTC/GMT) Call-in: Zakim bridge at: +1-617-761-6200, code 8294# IRC: sever: irc.w3.org, port: 6665, channel: #ua. ------------------------------------------------------------- Please send RSVP or additional agenda items to the list. Agenda 1. Review WCAG 2.0 Guidelines from UAAG perspective. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-20060327/ WCAG 2.0 uses the UAAG definition (instance 2) of 'user agent.' WCAG 2.0 assumes that user agents support all the technologies in a defined baseline. The definition of user agent support derives from UAAG. There is significant overlap between presumed functionality within user agents and perception, operability, understandability, and robustness of the content. As a basis for discussion, I will be posting a table tomorrow showing the user agent requirements (UAAG Guidelines and Checkpoints) necessary to render content according to WCAG 2.0. 2. UAAG and WCAG allow conformance claims. These conformance claims are interrelated. A user agent is not required to satisfy every requirement in UAAG to claim conformance. A claimant can establish a baseline of functionality in the user agent, narrowly defining the ability of he user agent to render specific content and the functionality provided to the user. Can WCAG 2.0 assume that specific functions provided by a user agent (render alternative text) be separate from a specific user agent (NewUserAgent 2.6)? Should there be a statement(s) in WCAG 2.0 for each appropriate guideline that there is a corresponding UAAG guideline necessary for the accessible rendering and interaction with the content described? Should WCAG 2.0 baseline conformance claims be based upon user agents with specific UAAG conforming functionality as required by the WCAG content? That is WCAG 2.0 "Guideline 1.2 Provide synchronized alternatives for multimedia" presumes that a conforming user agent meets UAAG "2.5 Make captions, transcripts, audio description available"; "4.4 Slow multimedia"; "4.5 Start, stop, pause, and navigate multimedia; and 4.6 Do not obscure captions."

All substantive comments should be said verbally in the call (not just in IRC). * to type a side comment that will _not_ get recorded in the minutes, type /me comment - e.g.: /me hopes Andrew had a good biking trip - will come out: *jim hopes Andrew had a good biking trip Teleconference information: - Managing IRC for UAWG meeting minutes: http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/2003/template.html - W3C Zakim Teleconference Bridge: http://www.w3.org/2002/01/UsingZakim - Zakim IRC Bot: http://www.w3.org/2001/12/zakim-irc-bot - A source for help with IRC (Internet Relay Chat): http://www.irchelp.org/ - Upcoming UAWG teleconference schedule: http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/#meetings Jim Allan, Webmaster & Statewide Technical Support Specialist Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired 1100 W. 45th St., Austin, Texas 78756 voice 512.206.9315 fax: 512.206.9264 http://www.tsbvi.edu/ ---> Share to Win!! <---
