CfC name change for Implementation document

*RESOLUTION: Change the name of Implementing UAAG 2.0 to UAAG 2.0 Reference*

​​

close item 1
1.10.1 review comments

original change:

1.10.1 Access Related Information: The user can access information from
explicitly-defined relationships in the content, including at least the
following (Level AA):

* label for a control or image (e.g. HTML label element, figcaption and
aria-labelledby attributes)

* caption for a table

* row and column labels for a table cell

discussion of 'control' in forms vs form control vs form fields

gl: change wording or add the parenthetical back in

<scribe> *ACTION:* jeanne to add the (e.g. HTML label element, figcaption
and aria-labelledby attributes) on 1.10.1 first bullet [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2014/08/28-ua-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1025 - Add the (e.g. html label element,
figcaption and aria-labelledby attributes) on 1.10.1 first bullet [on
Jeanne F Spellman - due 2014-09-04].

close item 2
Action 1019 - definition of user interface

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2014JulSep/0076.html

original:

user interface

For the purposes of UAAG 2.0, the user interface includes both:

• user agent user interface: The controls (e.g. menus, buttons, prompts,
native audio/video player controls, and other components for input and
output) and mechanisms (e.g. selection and focus) provided by the user
agent that are not created on the basis of the author-supplied content. The
user agent user interface may include extensions that become part of the
user agent user interface...

scribe: (e.g. toolbars, additional menus).

• content user interface: The user interface that emerges from the user
agent rendering of the author-supplied content. It includes all rendered
content (e.g. text, headings, enabled elements, disabled elements,
author-supplied audio/video controls).

Note: There may be a mix of recognized and unrecognized user interface
controls depending on the author-supplied content.

This document distinguishes user agent user interface and content user
interface only where required for clarity.

proposed:

user interface

The controls (e.g. menus, buttons, prompts, native audio/video player
controls, and other components for input and output) and mechanisms (e.g.
selection and focus) provided by the user agent that are not created on the
basis of the author-supplied content. The user agent user interface may
include extensions that become part of the user agent user interface (e.g.
toolbars, additional menus).

gl: ... should we put a note, that 'user interface' is used only for the
user agent user interface and not anything created by the author.
... in content

js: written by the author...an author could write a User Agent such as a
media player
... User Agent as noted in the conformance document....phrase it so if you
are looking at this as a browser it applies to the browser, if a media
player it refers to the media player
... because user agents can be nested, the term user interface applies to
the application seeking conformance

<Greg> "Note: In this document the term user interface is reserved only for
controls and mechanisms of the user agent that is being considered for
conformance. It does not include controls and mechanisms created by content
or other user agents. For example..." (stuff about nested and hosting UA)

kp: use definition for user agent user interface, and refer to it in the
document as UA user interface

js: sounds good to me

gl: can we just create an acronym

js: sure

<Greg> "considered for conformance" or "evaluated for conformance"?

ja: UI or UAUI? or UA user interface

js: keep existing User Agent User Interface and use UA user interface in
the document

delete 'content user interface'?

use the following:

user agent user interface: The controls (e.g. menus, buttons, prompts,
native audio/video player controls, and other components for input and
output) and mechanisms (e.g. selection and focus) provided by the user
agent that are not created on the basis of the author-supplied content. The
user agent user interface may include extensions that become part of the
user agent user interface (e.g....

scribe: toolbars, additional menus).

use the term UA user interface in the document to replace User Agent User
Interface

delete: content user interface definition and its Note.

close item 3
Action 1018 response to MS07

proposed:

UAWG put non-desktop examples throughout Implementing UAAG and published a
separate Note of Mobile Accessibility Examples from Implementing UAAG. UAWG
chose to put most of their non-desktop examples in Implementing UAAG (a W3C
Note), so it could be kept up to date without undermining the stability of
UAAG success criteria. In addition, UAAG contains broad definitions of
keyboard and a note...

scribe: under Principle 2 on Modality independence which also includes
references to Indie UI. The term "keyboard" is not limited to physical
keyboards, or even the on-screen keyboards provided by the platform. In our
document the term also includes physical keyboards that can be connected
externally, third-party on-screen keyboards that can add modifiers and
navigation keys, and software...
... interfaces that can be used by assistive technology software. UAWG has
updated Conformance and success criteria to improve the clarity that UAAG
applies to mobile and many forms of input and navigation.

gl: change Implementing UAAG to UAAG20 Reference

<Greg> Might change "In our document the term" to add a reference to the
fact that the glossary makes this clear.

<Greg> E.g. "In our document the glossary clarifies that the term..."

<Greg> We could even go so far as to add a poke such as "If a platform
cannot accommodate an on-screen keyboard or third-party software that
provides navigation commands, that is a flaw which is likely to prevent
compliance."

close item 5
1.7.4 de-minification of CSS on save

proposed: While it is customary for authors to compress stylesheets and
scripts to save load time, it would be highly beneficial if the user agent
saved the stylesheets in a user understandable formatted manner to
facilitate authoring by users.

<Greg> "in a format that facilitates reading and editing by users (e.g.
without stripping out line breaks)"?

save load time, it would be highly beneficial if the user agent saved the
stylesheets in a format that facilitates reading and editing by users (e.g.
without stripping out line breaks) to facilitate authoring by users.
