   <clown> action-1254

   <trackbot> action-1254 -- Joseph Scheuhammer to Work with
   WebApps working group to ensure that DOM spec states when a
   keydown event is consumed/cancelled that the corresponding
   keypress event is also cancelled. -- due 2014-11-25 -- OPEN

     [11] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1254

   JS: I meant to do this this morning.
   ... It will be done by next week.
   ... [Reads action text]
   ... I was supposed to send an email to Travis L.
   ... I was also going to create a test case.
   ... I'll put the due date off 1 week.
   ... [Requests Travis L's email address]
   ... If not, I'll try to find out from Cynthia or look through
   the WebApps group members and see if I can find it.

   <clown> action-1409?

   <trackbot> action-1409 -- Joanmarie Diggs to Monitor progress
   of bug against atk in gnome's bugzilla requesting new position,
   level, and other api be added
   ([12]https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727453) -- due

   <richardschwerdtfeger> scribe: Rich

   <richardschwerdtfeger> joseph: in ATK object you have room for
   one more method and you don’t want it to be groupPosition()

   <scribe> scribenick: joanie

   JD: In ATK we have exactly one more new method we can add to
   AtkObject.
   ... I really, really, really want to add subrole support to ATK
   -- more badly than I need group position API.
   ... Therefore, because of the lack of ability to add further
   API to AtkObject, GNOME plans to create a new "Accessible"
   interface (AtkAccessible?)
   ... That will solve the "lack of pads" problem. But it will not
   happen this cycle, very likely.

   JS: So the conclusion is that for now you are going to leave
   these as object attributes?

   JD: Yes.

   JS: Is the new accessible interface going to have group
   position, etc?

   JD: Yes. And much, much more.
   ... Because the interface approach doesn't have "pads". We can
   add new API until the cows come home.

   JS: I understand all that. To bring it to a close?

   JD: Two months please.
   ... I will try to tackle the AtkAccessible interface
   draft/whatever this cycle. But no promises.

   <richardschwerdtfeger> scribe: Joanie

ACTION-1396: (Cynthia) UIA mappings for role grid to convey beyond
table.

   <clown> action-1396

   <trackbot> action-1396 -- Cynthia Shelly to Modify uaig to
   convey grid role in accessibility mappings, beyond table.
   (atk/atspi/ ia2 xml-role=grid, macosx: roledescription: grid,
   msaa/uiaexpress localizedcontroltype="grid"?) -- due 2014-11-15
   -- OPEN

   <trackbot>
   [14]https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1396

     [14] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1396

   JS: The issue is, there's an action for me for a while now to
   put in the mapping to convey the fact that grids are more than
   just tables.
   ... I've done these for all the other APIs, along with a
   draft/proposal MSAA + UIA Express.
   ... I need Cynthia's feedback/review.

   <clown>
   [15]http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#ro
   le-map-grid

     [15]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-grid

   JS: What it says now for grid is...

   <clown> ROLE_SYSTEM_TABLE + AriaRole="grid"

   <clown> ROLE_SYSTEM_TABLE + control type 'grid'

   JS: The two solutions are: ROLE_SYSTEM_TABLE + AriaRole =
   "grid" OR Localized Control Type is grid
   ... Anyone know enough about UIA express to judge which of
   those is the right one?

   RS: Do they do anything special for treegrid versus grid?

   JS: treegrid is mapped to datagrid.
   ... I remember Cynthia saying datagrid is the only thing
   available -- for treegrid.

   BG: Are there any working examples for treegrid? They're hard
   to use.

   JS: I'll look, but how does that answer the question for UIA
   Express.

   <clown> scribenick: clown

   RS: The APIs are different in FF and Safari

   JD: I'm not sure of the question.

   RS: Are you working on FF and WebKit in terms of exposing on
   the AAPI layer?

   JD: I'm not working on gecko.

   RS: Are you staying in sync with FF team?

   JD: I'm not sure, but since there is but one ATK/AT-SPI
   mapping, they should be in sync.

   RS: Let me give you an example.
   ... All the linux mappings were verified with FF.
   ... Are the webkit to ATK mappings the same?

   <joanie> scribenick: joanie

   JD: Mapping should be the same. I'm only working on WebKit
   development-wise. If I find a Gecko bug, I file it.

   JS: How does all of this relate to the agenda item?
   ... Namely, how does UIA Express map grid in a way that
   expresses that it is interactive?
   ... I need A UIA Express expert to tell me which of my proposed
   two options is right.

   RS: Are you an expert? Or is there one?

   JS: Cynthia. I wouldn't be surprised if Alex knows.

   RS: We need someone who is doing the implementations in IE.

   BG: What are the differences between treegrid and grid?

   JS: My recollection is that datagrid doesn't make a distinction
   between treegrid and grid.
   ... Rich, you recall anything different?

   BG: Then it should map to the same thing.
   ... It's almost like they're inheriting from Outline.

   JS: [Reads about implemented IA2 interfaces]
   ... Yes, AX API only maps to AXTable for treegrid.
   ... I'll bring this back up next week.

   <clown> action-1104?

   <trackbot> action-1104 -- Cynthia Shelly to Define what the
   accessibility API mapping is for UIA on aria-describedby in
   section 5.5.1 table when the element does not exist in the
   accessibility tree such as when css: display:none applies --
   due 2014-11-18 -- OPEN

   <trackbot>
   [16]https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1104

     [16] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1104

   JS: I doubt that she's answered this either.
   ... This is needed by the new accessible name document.
   ... What do you do in UIA?

   RS: Should we say what they should do?

   JS: Everyone else grabs the text and puts the string in the
   accessible description field.
   ... UIA has pointers. And there's nothing to point to due to
   display:none.
   ... They have legacy description, but they don't want to do
   that.

   RS: I don't have an answer for you.

   JS: Ok, I'll bring this up again next week.

ACTION-1311/ACTION-1444/ACTION-1445: (Joseph, Cynthia) Clarify that
presentation role should preserve separation of nodes within
tables/lists.

   <clown> action-1311?

   <trackbot> action-1311 -- Joseph Scheuhammer to Clarify that
   presentation role should preserve separation of nodes within
   tables/lists; work out in UAIG 1.1 and with
   implementors/vendors how to resolve this. -- due 2014-11-15 --
   OPEN

   <trackbot>
   [17]https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1311

     [17] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1311

   JS: I'm pretty much ready to take this one on.
   ... This was caused a long time ago, briefly, because Alex
   smushed a presentational table into one giant text.
   ... He's since fixed that.
   ... There's been a request to add something to the mapping
   stating not to smush things together.
   ... My question is, where does this go in the document?

   <clown>
   [18]http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#ma
   pping_general

     [18]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#mapping_general

   JS: The first possibility is the above section of the document.
   ... [reads]
   ... We could add something there along the lines of "if
   role='presentation' .... do not"
   ... The other place to put it is the role mapping for
   presentation.
   ... What do you guys think?

   <clown>
   [19]http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#ro
   le-map-presentation

     [19]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-presentation

   JD: Is this specific to tables and lists?

   JS: It applies to anything with required descendants.
   ... We need to say what happens to them.

   RS: A separate non-semantic entity.

   JD: Would it make sense to put it under table and list, if
   those really are the two things they apply to?

   <clown>
   [20]http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#presentati
   on

     [20] http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#presentation

   JS: There's a paragraph at the above URL. (About the 7th
   paragraph down, not counting the editorial notes.)
   ... [Reads paragraph starting with "When an explicit or
   inherited role of presentation is applied to an element with
   the implicit semantic of a WAI-ARIA role that has required
   owned elements, in addition to the element with the explicit
   role of presentation, the user agent must apply an inherited
   role of presentation to any owned elements that do not have an
   explicit role defined."]
   ... I think I could put it in one spot and cover both tables
   and lists in that one spot.

   JD: My real point is put it where we think implementors are
   likely to look.

   [Discussion about the original smushing]

   JS: [Reads from Alex's message]
   ... Where does it say you must not create an accessible object
   for table with role="presentation"?

   <clown>
   [21]http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#ex
   clude_elements2

     [21]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#exclude_elements2

   JS: It's just a guess but maybe in the above section?
   ... In which case, perhaps that is where you put this extra
   information.

   RS: So you want to add a new bullet point under 5.1.1?

   JS: Or maybe a sub-bullet.

     [22] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=945435

   [Discussion of the above issue]

   <richardschwerdtfeger>
   [23]http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/svg-aam/svg-aam.html

     [24] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1013584

   JD: Looking at comment 18, David removed "[ATK]" from the
   summary which suggests that *maybe* in IA2, they are also now
   mapped as if they were divs.
   ... But I don't know.

   JS: Looking at the last patch, there's no more "text" roles.
   ... I need to look at this as a guide to the text I put in.
   ... I think I'm going to put this text in the initial part of
   the mapping where it talks about role="presentation".
   ... Then I'll mark it as "pending review".

ACTION-1531/ISSUE-435: (David) investigate ia2 mapping of
role="text".

   <clown> action-1531

   <trackbot> action-1531 -- David Bolter to Bolter to investigate
   ia2 mapping of role="text" -- due 2014-11-18 -- OPEN
