open item 1
question 1 3.3.2
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20131001/results
definition of documentation
gl: a little uncomfortable of not even addressing the question of whether
or not the term covers materials not included with the product
jr: what are you guarding against. 3rd party stuff.
gl: materials doesn't ship with product, so its not part, and doesn't have
to be accessible
jr: are you concerned about a11y of material on the web.
gl: 'on the web' was dropped, that is a concern
ja: 'electronically' covers on the web
gl: didn't interpret that way
<Jan> Documentation: Any information that supports the use of a user agent.
This information may be provided electronically or otherwise and includes
help, manuals, installation instructions, tutorials, etc. Documentation may
be distributed (e.g. as files included in the installation, available on
the web). Note: The level of technical detail in documentation for users
should match the technical...
<Jan> ...level of the feature. For example, user documentation for a
browser's zoom function should not refer users to the source code
repository for that browser.
<Greg> I thought "electronically" meant as opposed to in print, and
"distributed" was a verb instead of an adjective.
<Jan> Documentation: Any information that supports the use of a user agent.
This information may be provided electronically or otherwise and includes
help, manuals, installation instructions, tutorials, etc. Documentation may
accessed in various ways (e.g. as files included in the installation,
available on the web). Note: The level of technical detail in documentation
for users should match the...
<Jan> ...technical level of the feature. For example, user documentation
for a browser's zoom function should not refer users to the source code
repository for that browser.

gl: should make sense without parenthetical.
<Greg> Documentation can be distributed with the product or separately
(e.g. on the web).
<scribe> *ACTION:* jeanne to update and smith (remove parentheticals, yet
retain meaning) definition of Documentation: Any information that supports
the use of a user agent. This information may be provided electronically or

<trackbot> Created ACTION-893 - Update and smith (remove parentheticals,

<trackbot> ... 2013-10-10].
UNKNOWN_SPEAKER: available on the web). Note: The level of technical detail
in documentation for users should match the technical level of the feature.
For example, user documentation for a browser's zoom function should not
refer users to the source code repository for that browser.
js: "documentation for users should match the technical level of the
feature." -- suggest that it be
"documentation for users should match the technical level of what the user
wants to accomplish".
jr: hard to know what the user wants to do. more testable to base on
feature (address bar, dialog box, etc)
kp: +1 to jr
question 2 intent of 3.3.2
gl: SC - described in interface, intent - self explanatory, comments most
editorial except the self-documenting
... why are dev. docs not required...only recommended
jr: agree about self explanatory
... dev docs are a second order documentation. this is for the user and
testable
... if it is a deep communication feature that the user doesnt see, how do
we test it

<trackbot> Created ACTION-897 - Update the 4.1 stems from the minutes of
meeting of 3 october. [on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2013-10-10].
q6 1.4.2 new
gl: use 'element type'
<Greg> (I don't really like making the stems even longer by adding Type,
but it would be more accurate; if we can get away without that's good, for
conciseness.)
jr: 'other elements' is untestable
kp: proposal- The user can set all of the following characteristics of
visually rendered text content for text elements including main text and
headings
gl: ONLY for a limited set of types
jr: what might need its own text style.
js: this could be user style sheets for html, but needs to cover non-html
documents (pdf)
... need a list -- form labels, table headers, headings, normal text
jr: form elements covered in highlighting
js: input elements - make the actual controls bigger
<jeanne> *ACTION:* jeanne to write an example of making input elements
larger to increase the click area for users with fine motor issues.
[recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/10/03-ua-minutes.html#action06]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-899 - Add to 1.4.2 ier resources to cross
reference to the 1.3 highlighting of element types [on Jeanne F Spellman -
due 2013-10-10].
PDF will be a huge problem
<jeanne> The user can set all of the following characteristics of visually
rendered text content for at least headings, main text, table headings, and
input fields.
gl: what happens for documents with no styles (per se)
jr: how is main text different from globally
js: agree
jr: is table heading to html centric
<jeanne> The user can set all of the following characteristics of visually
rendered text content for at least headings, table headings, and input
fields.
<jeanne> it is also a problem for mobile browsers
js: issue for mobile browsers, no user style sheets
<Jan> Gere we say labels and headers and table headers are an example of
headers...http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/UAAG20/#sc_122
<jeanne> *ACTION:* jeanne to add example to IER of 1.4.2 to include table
headers as a type of heading [recorded in

<jeanne> *ACTION:* jeanne to add revised 1.4.2 from minutes of 3 October
[recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/10/03-ua-minutes.html#action09]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-901 - Add revised 1.4.2 from minutes of 3 october
[on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2013-10-10].
q7 1.4.3 new
need to be able to turn stuff off (text style and justification)
<Greg> I would require the ability to turn bold on and off, but only need
to turn off italics and underline.
1.4.3 Configure text globally: The user can globally set all of the
following characteristics of visually rendered blocks of text: (Level AA)
Line spacing of at least 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, and 2.0
Character spacing of at least 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09
Word spacing of at least 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09
Text style (underline, italic, bold)
Justification - (left, right, full)
discussion of how hard to do these things...for developer and user
gl: would not fail a UA for not setting all text underlined
<Jan> brb
gl: getting rid of all formatting, would turn everything off. but some
users may have a need to make everything bols
ja; would be useful to turn italic into bold
gl: this is global not just for italic items.
<KimPatch> Text style (underline off, italic off; bold on/off)
agree we need units
<jeanne> *ACTION:* jeanne to follow up with proposal on text customization
to clarify the units of measure called for in 1.4.3 proposal. [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2013/10/03-ua-minutes.html#action10]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-902 - Follow up with proposal on text
customization to clarify the units of measure called for in 1.4.3 proposal.
[on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2013-10-10].
<jeanne> Justification - undo full justification
<Greg> I don't want to add a requirement to support justification options
if the original request was just to allow avoiding them.
<Greg> I think the minimum is turning off full justification, and turning
on the default justification for the language direction (left justification
for left-to-right languages, etc.).
1.4.3 Configure text globally: The user can globally set all of the
following characteristics of visually rendered blocks of text:(Level AA)
Line spacing of at least 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, and 2.0
Character spacing of at least 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09
Word spacing of at least 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09
Text style (underline, italic, bold)
Justification (undo full justification)
1.4.3 Configure text globally: The user can globally set all of the
following characteristics of visually rendered blocks of text:(Level AA)
Line spacing of at least 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, and 2.0
Character spacing of at least 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09
Word spacing of at least 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09
Text style (underline, italic, bold)
Justification (turn off full justification)
js: remove left, right, full from AAA (1.4.6) and add it here
kp: +1
ja: +1
<jeanne> That will be simpler and easier than requiring requiring the
default justification for the language
js: there is no not-full justification.
... left or right justification removes centering
<Greg> I can live with the proposal to require left/right/full
justification, although it's not my preference because I don't know of any
accessibility benefit of requiring turning ON full justification or right
justification in left-to-right languages.
Resolution: 1.4.3 Configure text globally: The user can globally set all of
the following characteristics of visually rendered blocks of text:(Level AA)
Line spacing of at least 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, and 2.0
Character spacing of at least 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09
Word spacing of at least 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09

measure and changing Justification to justification (left, right, full)
