  New TAG and public explainers  (Janina)

   janina: Started ripping out a lot of stuff, but then realised
   the Explainer could reasonably describe our overall plans, and
   indicate which are to be addressed later.
   … So having an overall Explainer for the public may be good.
   … What do people think? Do we need to focus module-by-module
   for the public Explainer? Or just tweak an overall Explainer as
   we add modules?

   sharon: Understand what you are thinking; we've always had one
   public Explainer but three planned modules.
   … If we have new modules, would we just keep updating the
   existing Explainer? Or add new ones?

   janina: Harder to add new ones; easier to update the current
   one. Some details in the current Explainer are incorrect (i.e.
   number of planned modules), but we could re-phrase.

   sharon: If we decide to keep one public Explainer right now,
   and later got to the point where we want to split it up, would
   there be anything to stop us?

   MichaelC: There are procedural impacts, but nothing really
   stopping us.

   janina: I could get it done quickly if it remains general. I
   had started completely re-writing to focus much more on
   symbols.
   … Symbols are a major contribution, and I think we can
   emphasize that more in the existing Explainer.

   sharon: We'll still have this to review on a separate branch?

   janina: Yes.

   matatk: Explainer can be an evergreen. TAG explainer will be
   more focused each time.

   janina: ACK; not looked at TAG one yet. A big concern is the
   stats (finding the next billion users). NIH has some data.
   … The primary use it accommodating people's inability to speak.

   sharon: We're moving forward with the (public) Explainer as-is
   then.

   janina: Yes.

  CR updates for new spec focused only on symbols

   sharon: I've pulled out everything but symbols and started a
   branch...

   GitHub branch: [14]https://github.com/w3c/adapt/tree/

   symbols-only-content

     [14] https://github.com/w3c/adapt/tree/symbols-only-content


   Here is a neat URL to preview the document itself for those of
   us without it checked-out locally: [15]https://raw.githack.com/

   w3c/adapt/symbols-only-content/content/index.html

     [15] https://raw.githack.com/w3c/adapt/symbols-only-content/content/index.html


   matatk: No problem editing this as there is a Tag in github.
   Using githack to read the version Sharon has edited with just
   the symbols.
   … , fine to start pull request now if desired and everyone can
   review.

   Janina: are we cross ref registry spec?

   sharon: Appendix A relating to exit criteria needs to be looked
   at in particular.

   <Roy> [16]https://github.com/w3c/adapt-registry/


     [16] https://github.com/w3c/adapt-registry/


   MichaelC: Roy's already prepared a draft of the registry doc.
   Not too early to point to it in an Editor's Note.

   <janina> +1 to registry draft rather than Bliss PDF

   sharon: In the explainer, or module?

   MichaelC: Both

   <Roy> [17]https://w3c.github.io/adapt-registry/


     [17] https://w3c.github.io/adapt-registry/


   janina: And we have an agreed approach with Russell/Bliss
   (focus on a subset of the vocab to start with).
   … (Michael contacted Russell on this last week)

   MichaelC: Also working on setting up a regular call with
   Russell.

   sharon: I'll add a note to this. As per last week, we're still
   calling this Content module.

   janina: Yes, for now at least.
   … Make sure to call it a "registry specification".

   becky: The example has @data-purpose in it; should probably use
   the standard attribute
   … (which we're not specifying yet).

   becky: We can put street address per the HTML @autocomplete
   attr.
   … Also minor nit: 'bar' maybe shouldn't be used as primary
   residence.

   sharon: *agrees*

  ARIA-related issues

   matatk: Timers, and use case on buttons with icons and text
   which we didn't support. ARIA thought there was enough
   semantics. Selecting things based on their role. I have been
   working on that.
   … , I will write some code, and see if it works for people.
   … , got the impression we should look at ARIA from TAG
   perspective.

   Janina: difference between ARIA action and our action.
   … , our users won't be using the screen reader only
   … , ie. parsing the AX tree

   matatk: There is no such attribute ARIA action. there is a role
   of command is an abstract. aria-action as an action instead of
   us implementing it.

   Janina: not sure it makes sense.

   matatk: it is confusing, related topic on @rel. not sure how
   this fits into ARIA could ask them for clarification.

   janina: Judy suggested having TAG do a guided review of this.

   matatk: guided review more explanation, seems like we are going
   to have to have TAG review while we are in the room.

   Sharon: who would schedule this?

   janina: APA would schedule this.

   sharon: Would it be helpful to have a centralized issue where
   we can track this info?

   janina: I think we're still a little unclear as to what we're
   going to CR with; will be clearer what we want them to look at
   once we're clear as to what's in the CR.

  CSS (i.e., media-queries)

   matatk: we can use Media Queries to replace content, animated
   to non-animated, we can also remove it.
   … , not sure what the difference would be to either replace or
   delete.
   … , Media Queries are a nested structure. so could be a good
   fit. all thinking about what is critical to me and varying in
   context. Some disagreement even within COGA on this. some just
   can't handle except just the bare minimum, ie. critical,
   everything else we can get rid of. becomes subjective when you
   just want less of. We need to be mindful of the more
   extensible, would you need to come up with new Media queries,
   for this. We ma

   y invite Andrew Kirkpatrick,

   janina: I've been thinking on this too. Suggestion: depends on
   how much we have in the way of semantics being presented to us.
   If we get a resolution (wrt the debate in WCAG 3 right now)
   that controls are more critical than photos/images, and we can
   distinguish those
   … we could simplify the page so that it's comprehensible.
   Probably not quite that clean, becuase some controls do
   different things.
   … But we could potentially chunk up the page rather than have
   it all there as one big blob. I think there are ways to iterate
   through the complexity and let users choose on that.

   matatk: Section elements could, being responsive could have
   some benefits here.

   janina: How do we draw a line and get a concrete question we
   can ask CSSWG?

   janina: Maybe we don't need to ask yet, but do need to know if
   we're asking for an adapt-* prefix.

   sharon: Yes, as discussed, we have this thread in parallel so
   we're ready to ask about that when we come to CR.

  Microformats (Matthew)

   matatk: I wrote an email about this.

   Email for background: [18]https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/

   public-adapt/2022Oct/0007.html

     [18] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-adapt/2022Oct/0007.html


   MichaelC: My recollection about microformats is that they have
   some critical accessibility barriers in that some uses of
   microformats break semantics by putting machine-readable data
   in human-readable attributes.
   … I think we dropped it at that, and didn't document it. If we
   need to, perhaps we could, but don't think we need to spend a
   lot of time looking into it. I don't think it's a viable path.

   janina: Did this relate to a formal objection?

   MichaelC: Not sure. Microformats are not specified in HTML.
   They were widely used by the time we discussed it though.

   janina: I think there was an issue with some exposing of
   machine-readable content via AT. Maybe not this.

   sharon: Maybe we need to update the wiki?

   matatk: agrees with Michael, developers tend to like them. we
   need to acknowledge that. Do you have anything we can link to,
   I can dig in to see if there is any a11y issues as a result of
   using this.

  Requirements emerging from the work on WCAG3 (Janina)

   janina: Some things being talked about strike me as could be
   handled neatly by us, via CSS or attributes. E.g. error
   handling: what happens when you hit the submit button and there
   are errors in the page. "Fix what's highlighted in red" - the
   person could be shown only the broken stuff.
   … The other issue I already mentioned, wether images are
   informative or not.
   … They're just two issues that are amenable to what we're
   talking about.
   … Instead of having to make authoring guidance for WCAG, we
   could just point to Adapt.

   sharon: That would be something to add in future?

   janina: As part of @simplification.

   matatk: I personally wouldn't like this as it would change the
   layout of the page with just the errors showing, but this could
   be used for certain people. This could be an excellent use
   case.

   janina: perhaps tab / shift-tab to only show errors on the
   page.

   matatk: this could be done now with a browser extension.
