Teleconference Summary 20 Monday 2023

Hi All,

Sharing some discussion from the Teleconference 20 Monday 2023. Sharing
this for further discussion, which will have an impact on our document.

This is an opportunity to note the URI to the Capabilities document,
https://a11yedge.github.io/capabilities.

Discussed:

External Link Targets: The validation of external link targets at the time
of page load -- meaning at the edge -- is useful, as many links may 'rot'
since they were authored. Some URLs will resolve on content that does not
replace the content being looked for; e.g., a link that now goes to
malware. This can occur as links age, rot or are attacked.

Invocation and dismissal: The invocation of edge accessibility
capabilities should be a distinctive action. On mobile the touch targets
should not be adjacent to other touch targets. Closing overlays needs to be
simple, obvious, intuitive. Also consider the back button.

Provenance: The Web is built for mingling, mixing and hosting of
components. In general it would be useful to be able to understand the
provenance of components, interactive widgets and data services on a page.
Many advertisements have a small "i" for information button, giving some
provenance information-- this is an example of providing the information
discussed here. Edge technologies including JavaScript interactive
components, accessibility overlays, cookie management overlays, chat
overlays, user-agent extensions and so on should have a method for
revealing their provenance.
