<oedipus> having really nasty hardware problems -- will dial in momentarily

<oedipus> can't get on zakim... conference full..

<oedipus> ok, glad it isn't just me -- one computer died and another 
isn't working right (won't let me copy-and-paste)

<oedipus> just send a post to the ua list -- will try and mirror 
contents on wiki as i was attempting before my last reboot

gregory, what's your home number?

We'll try to conference you in

<oedipus> yes

<oedipus> shall i try again?

please give us your phone number and we will try calling you

<AllanJ> what is your home phone we will try and conference you in

<AllanJ> Discussion of gregory's 3 issues

<AllanJ> 1. <INS> An access element must have either a targetrole or a 
targetid attribute specified. If neither a targetrole nor a targetid 
attribute are specified, the user agent MUST NOT define a mapping nor 
deliver any events. </INS> was dropped

<AllanJ> all: agree to re-insert into document

<AllanJ> all: move rollid statements into Access Element section

<oedipus> UAAG 1.0 1.2 and 9.5 addressed in

<oedipus> missing from rewording previously cited UAAG 1.0 checkpoints 
9.6 and 11.4

<AllanJ> discussion of keybinding override implementation

<AllanJ> ...and SHOULD or MUST requirement

<oedipus> 2. Conformance Requirements

<oedipus> This section is normative.

<oedipus> The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL 
NOT", "SHOULD", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document 
are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

<oedipus> Note that all examples in this document are informative, and 
are not meant to be interpreted as normative requirements.

<oedipus> key words for use in RFCs to indicate requirement levels: 
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt

<AllanJ> JR: test case: author thinks through the controls. then a user 
wants to remap due to range of motion to concentrate keys on left side 
of keyboard

<AllanJ> KF: or using an AT, and the author key conflicts with AT, 
yes...can bypass the key but gets tedious, so user remaps author key to 
not conflict with AT

<oedipus> www.foobar2000.org

<oedipus> all basically, author proposes, user disposes

<oedipus> RFC 2119: 1. MUST This word, or the terms "REQUIRED" or 
"SHALL", mean that the

<oedipus> definition is an absolute requirement of the specification.

<oedipus> RFC 2119: "3. SHOULD This word, or the adjective 
"RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular 
circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications 
must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different 
course."

<AllanJ> SHOULD make available the list of input device event types for 
which there are event handlers explicitly associated with the element.

http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/wiki/AccessModule/KeyMappingBinding

In all 3 cases, the relevant section is: "Proposed Re-Wording"

3.1. The access element

The access element assigns an accessibility mapping to elements within a 
document. Actuating the mapping results in the element gaining focus 
(either the document focus or an inspection focus, as determined by the 
user agent), and, if set by the author and permitted by the user's 
settings, in one or more other events being activated.

An access element must have either a targetrole or a targetid attribute 
specified. If neither a targetrole nor a targetid attribute are 
specified, the user agent MUST NOT define a mapping nor deliver any events.

3.1.1. activate = ( yes | no* )

The activate attribute indicates whether a target element should be 
activated or not once it obtains focus. The default value for this 
attribute is "no", indicating that the element will not be "activated". 
User agents may provide mechanisms for overriding the author setting 
with user-specified settings in order to ensure that the act of moving 
content focus does not cause the user agent to...

scribe: take any further action (UAAG 1.0, Checkpoint 9.5).

User agents MUST provide keyboard mechanisms for "activating" any event 
associated with the focused element (UAAG 1.0, Checkpoint 1.2) and 
SHOULD make available the list of events associated with the element 
(UAAG 1.0, Checkpoint 9.6).

3.1.2. key = Character

This attribute assigns a key mapping to an access shortcut. An access 
key is a single character from the document character set.

Triggering the access key defined in an access element moves focus from 
its current position to the next element in navigation order that has 
one of the referenced role or id values (consult Section 3.1.1, Activate 
for information on how the element may be activated). Note that it is 
possible to deliver alternate events via XMLEVENTS.

The invocation of access keys depends on the implementation. For 
instance, on some systems one may have to press an "alt" or "cmd" key in 
addition to the access key.

The character assigned to a key, and its relationship to a role or id 
attribute SHOULD be treated as an author suggestion. User agents may 
override any key assignment (e.g., if an assignment interferes with the 
operation of the user interface of the user agent, if the key is not 
available on a device, if a key is used by the operating environment). 
User agents SHOULD also allow users to...

scribe: override author assigned keys with their own key assignments 
(UAAG 1.0, Checkpoint 11.3). If a user chooses to change the key 
binding, the resultant user-defined remapping SHOULD persist across 
sessions.

If no key attribute is specified, the user agent SHOULD assign a key and 
alert the user to the key mapping and the resultant user agent assigned 
key SHOULD persist across sessions.

The rendering of access keys depends on the user agent. We recommend 
that authors include the access key character in label text or wherever 
the access key is to apply. If the user agent can recognize that the 
currently mapped access key character appears in the label text of the 
element to which it is mapped, then the user agent may render the 
character in such a way as to emphasize its...

scribe: role as the access key and distinguish it from other characters 
(e.g., by underlining it).

A conforming user agent SHOULD also provide a centralized view of the 
current access key assignments (UAAG 1.0 Checkpoint 11.1, UAAG 1.0 
Checkpoint 11.2).
