CA03 - 3.1.1 b

current wording:

3.1.1 Reduce Interruptions:
The user can avoid or defer: (Level AA)
  b.
​Information in the user agent user interface that is being updated or
changing
---------
CA03: Also we think it needs to be easy to do this - not just possible. So
maybe add

To ensure that it is easy to avoid or defer this content it should:
--
​ ​
Be not more then two steps, Such as: One step to select avoid or defer them
and a conformation step.
​​discussion: We agree that this should be easy to do. Easy to do is an
implementation detail. Two step process mentioned, seems too prescriptive.​​


--
​ ​
Only
​​
​​
simple and clear text and symbols should be used in controls to avoid or
defer this content
​discussion: ​
​
​We agree that only ​
​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​simple and clear text and symbols should be used. UAAG does not
have an SC related to simple/clear text. We have not seen instances of
controls not using simple text or symbols.​


--
​ ​
Controls to avoid this type of content should be positioned above or next
to the content that it refers to.
​discussion:  positioning of controls is an implementation detail and UAWG
has striven to not be prescriptive. ​

Also the group is working to identify semantics that would make it possible
to handle this as an adaptive interface at the user end. If this becomes
possible and is supported, then it would be an acceptable alternative to
make sure the
Messages and content that are non-essential or low priority for the user
and
Messages, features and content that are not part of the core use-cases for
the content can be programmatically identified.

​discussion: We assume that the group working on the semantics is the
Cognitive accessibility task force. UAWG is not working on this topic.
​

​Propose: not accepted​
