be made available via the architecture:
... to - If any of the following properties are supported by the  
accessibility platform architecture, make the properties available  
via [or "to"??] the accessibility platform architecture:
... Discussion of change from to or via
<AllanJ> Issue: resolve "to" and
<trackbot> Created ISSUE-25 - Resolve \"to\" and ; please complete  
additional details at http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/issues/25/edit .
JR: Happy to take 'to' although 'via' implys a correct outcome from  
the API
sharper: is it not up to the AT? how can the user agent enforce this?
All: Agreed to resolve to 'to'.

Proposal to reword 2.1.7

old - 2.1.7 Timely Communication: For APIs implemented to satisfy the  
requirements of this document, programmatic exchanges proceed in a  
timely manner (Level AA).
<scribe> new - Timely Communication: For APIs implemented to satisfy  
the requirements of this document, ensure that programmatic exchanges  
proceed in a timely manner (Level AA)
results: 2 accepts, Questions: why AA, Timely is not testable.
Ford_Kelly: Maybe say ' is consistent with other applications which  
support the application architecture' ? But still not testable.
JR: Timely is common sense - would a regular human notice?
AllanJ: Is that anymore testable than timely.
Ford_Kelly: would change vote to accept (for now) if we gave examples  
of what we wanted to happen.
<JR> JR: programmatic exchanges proceed at a rate such that typical  
users do not perceive a lag
<JR> JR: programmatic exchanges proceed at a rate such that users do  
not perceive a delay
All: Discussion around this phrasing
<AllanJ> Timely Communication: For APIs implemented to satisfy the  
requirements of this document, ensure that programmatic exchanges  
proceed at a rate such that users do not perceive a delay
All: Looks good seems cleaner
Ford_Kelly: Let's put it in and await responses.
All: Agreed
<AllanJ> ACTION: Jeanne update 2.1.7 to Timely Communication: For  
APIs implemented to satisfy the requirements of this document, ensure

Kelly_Ford: extra Item
Discussion around 2.1.3

<JR> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2008OctDec/0065.html
<AllanJ> Original:
<AllanJ> 2.1.3 Accessible Alternative: If any functionality is not  
supported by the implemented accessibility platform architecture(s),  
then a separate accessible
<AllanJ> alternative for that functionality that is supported by the  
implemented accessibility platform architecture(s) is provided and a  
description of the inaccessible
<AllanJ> functionality appears in the conformance claim.
<AllanJ> Proposed:
<AllanJ> 2.1.3 Accessible Alternative: If functionality exists that  
is not supported by the accessibility architecture(s) used by the  
user agent, alternative functionality that does support the  
accessibility architecture and provides equivalent functionality must  
be implemented. Such alternatives must be documented in the user  
agent conformance claim.
<AllanJ> JR: need to define accessibility architecture
<AllanJ> ..."such arlternatives" should be changed to 'the situations'
<AllanJ> SH: won't this lead to many alternatives
<AllanJ> KF: User Agent says I support MSAA or UIA. but, the browser  
comes up with some new feature that is not supported in the platform  
architecture
<AllanJ> ...developer needs to rewrite or create some work around and  
document it
<AllanJ> SH: this is more understandable than 2.1.3
<AllanJ> KF: 2.1.3 says basically if all else fails provide an  
accessible alternative.
<AllanJ> SH: current language seems too complex for concept we are  
aming for
All: Discussion around this phrasing and Wordsmithing
<JR> If a feature is not supported by the accessibility architecture 
(s) used by the user agent, provide an equivalent feature does  
support the accessibility architecture.
<JR> If a feature is not supported by the accessibility architecture 
(s) used by the user agent, provide an equivalent feature that does  
support the accessibility architecture(s).
<JR> accessibility architecture(s).
<JR> If a feature is not supported by the accessibility architecture 
(s), provide an equivalent feature that does support the  
accessibility architecture(s).
<JR> If a feature is not supported by the accessibility architecture 
(s), provide an equivalent feature that does support the  
accessibility architecture(s) and document the equivalence in the  
conformance claim.
<JR> If a feature is not supported by the accessibility architecture 
(s), provide an equivalent feature that does support the  
accessibility architecture(s). Document the equivalent feature in the  
conformance claim.
AllanJ: lets try to break this
... How do we call attention to the equivalence in the interface?
<AllanJ> how does the user know to use this equivalent feature
<JR> JA: 5.3.2...documenting success criteria
<JR> SH: Yes can go there
<AllanJ> ACTION: Jeanne to update 2.1.3 to If a feature is not  
supported by the accessibility architecture(s), provide an equivalent  
feature that does support the accessibility architecture(s). Document  
the equivalent feature in the conformance claim. [recorded in http:// 
www.w3.org/2008/12/04-ua-minutes.html#action05]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-96 - Update 2.1.3 to If a feature is not  
supported by the accessibility architecture(s), provide an equivalent  
feature that does support the accessibility architecture(s). Document  
the equivalent feature in the conformance claim. [on Jeanne Spellman
