   <trackbot> action-2009 -- Cynthia Shelly to Update UIA mapping
   for role="main" (GitHub issue #238) -- due 2016-02-08 --
   PENDINGREVIEW

     [12] http://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/actions/2009

   JS: This is a fresh action.
   ... I saw yesterday that Cynthia made some requests to the
   mapping of role="main".

   JS: I did it this morning. See the above URL.

   CS: Looks good. Thanks.

   JS: I'm going to close the action; I'll let you (Cynthia) close
   the GitHub action.

   CS: Is it checked in?

   JS: Yes.

ACTION-1531 (All) IA2 mapping of role="text" -- latest from Alex.

   action-1531

   <trackbot> action-1531 -- David Bolter to Bolter to investigate

   JS: The continuing saga of role="text"

   <clown>

   51.html

     [15] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-aria/2016Jan/0151.html

   JS: I asked Alex about the mapping for role="text" for IA2.
   ... (See above URL)
   ... Alex says he's ok with that.
   ... But he also wants there to be the accessible text
   implementation on both IA2 and ATK.
   ... Alex did point out that he didn't like this as there will
   be instances where accessible text doesn't apply.

     [16] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-aria/2016Jan/0151.html

   JS: I pointed out to Alex that Jamie had said he could handle
   both instances.
   ... Alex then asked why UIA's mapping was different.

   le-map-text

     [17]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-text

   JS: I'm reading from the above URL.
   ... It looks like UIA mapping is to the text control pattern.
   ... So I'm wondering if Cynthia could reply to Alex's question.

   CS: This mapping is what we'd do for a span.
   ... When we map something as text, it doesn't become its own
   separate text control pattern.
   ... Unless it has a property (like a tabindex) necessitating it
   be exposed as a seperate accessible object.
   ... So basically for role="text" you're taking the semantics
   off.
   ... Which is somewhat different from role="presentation".

   JS: I think that this is essentially what the other platforms
   are doing.

   CS: I don't like the fact that role="text" removes all the
   tags.

   <clown> <table role="text"> ... many rows, columns, and cells
   ... </table>

   JS: I agree.
   ... I replied to Alex that I shared his misgivings.
   ... See above example.

   CS: I still don't understand why we need both
   role="presentation" and role="text".

   JS: With role="presentation", at least the block level elements
   are preserved; this is not the case for role="text", which
   becomes one big string.

   le-map-presentation

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

   CS: So from a practical point of view, role="text" turns things
   into spans; role="presentation" turns them into divs?

   JS: I believe so, yes.

   CS: For UIA, there's not going to be a functional difference.
   ... And I think having both is going to potentially confuse
   people

   JS: (Reads from original proposal)

   CS: So the behavior is different for images?
   ... I'm not sure what we do with presentational images.
   ... But it seems like role="text" on an image will take the alt
   text and expose it like the span-like contents.

   BG: Presentation applied to form fields don't cause the form
   fields to go away.

   JS: I think if the element has an event on it, or one of the
   globals, presentation is ignored.
   ... I don't think role="text" has that caveat.

   CS: That's scary.

   JS: Yes it is.

   CS: For UIA, we could tweak it slightly wrt the name
   calculation.
   ... Right now, presentation doesn't run name calculation.
   ... But if you had button with a title, or an image with alt
   text, the underlying string would not get added for name
   calculation.
   ... In the case of role="text", perhaps it should.

   <clown> [20]https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/issues/435

     [20] https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/issues/435

   <cyns> UIA: Text Control Pattern. Run name calculation, and add
   the resulting string to the text pattern for the overall page,
   at the point where the element occurred.

   JS: (Reads some of the comments from issue-435)

   JD: We'll I agree with the misgivings, but for the record, this
   is not going to require Orca have a virtual buffer.

   <clown> [21]http://w3c.github.io/aria/aria/aria.html#text

     [21] http://w3c.github.io/aria/aria/aria.html#text

   JS: (Reads from spec)
   ... It includes role="presentation"/"none" as an alternative
   for authors wishing to keep some of the elements.
   ... And it's a SHOULD -- not a MUST -- for interactive
   controls.

   CS: Can we add an issue to have the same exemptions on
   role="text" that we have on role="presentation"?

   JS: I think we should.
   ... And I think it should be in the spec. We can also add
   something to the AAM, but....

   CS: This is an issue in the spec. The statement would need to
   be added to the spec.
   ... This would make me feel less concerned about role="text".

   <clown> proposed issue text: For role="text", there needs to be
   requirements on user agents for overrides, such as controls,
   events, and other global aria properties, like there is for
   role="presentation".

   CS: Looks good to me.

   <clown> ISSUE: For role="text", there needs to be requirements
   on user agents for overrides, such as controls, events, and
   other global aria properties, like there is for
   role="presentation".

   <trackbot> Created ISSUE-1011 - For role="text", there needs to
   be requirements on user agents for overrides, such as controls,
   events, and other global aria properties, like there is for
   role="presentation".. Please complete additional details at
   <[22]http://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/issues/1011/edit>.

     [22] http://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/issues/1011/edit

   JS: Are you still going to email Alex?

   CS: Yes.
   ... I'll include the issue and ask him if it helps.

   JS: Do you want me to add that mapping?

   CS: Yes.

   JS: I was trying to find time to add Jason's section to the
   Core AAM, and Cynthia's text as well.
   ... I've asked Jason how he wants to proceed.
   ... But I've not yet heard back from him.
   ... So I may just proceed and then ask him.

   CS: Sounds reasonable.

     [25] http://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/actions/1593

   JS: That's the same one, really.
   ... Correction, it's not.
   ... This is something we opened a year ago.

   CS: I pushed the date out again.
   ... I do intend to do it, but other things keep coming up.

ACTION-1691/ISSUE-1010 (Cynthia) UIA mapping for aria-errormessage

http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#ariaErrorMessage

   JS: They are at the above URL.
   ... I discovered when doing so that we didn't have a table yet
   for aria-errormessage.
   ... So I put in the UIA text and left the others TBD.

   CS: (Reads the current proposed mapping and suggests "target")
   ... The other thing you could do instead of a long sentence is
   just say "ControllerFor".

   JS: I thought about it, but I didn't know what it meant, so I
   looked around.
   ... The statement that is there is the same one elsed
   elsewhere.
   ... I've already closed the action (action-1691).
   ... I'll update the text as described.

   JS: This is mine.
   ... I thought it was ambiguous. Cynthia disagrees.
   ... My problem is with the first sentence.
   ... It implies if something has already been excluded, skip

   ... That is not right.

   [38]https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/136

     [38] https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/136

   JD: Given the whole SVG golden hammer thread (see above URL),
   should we consider your proposed text in the context of this
   larger issue rather than just committing it because we here
   agree your text sounds good/right?

   JS: Can you look at my example in this log.
   ... My reading of the Core AAM says that span is not included
   in the accessibility tree because role="presentation" knocks it
   out.
   ... Thoughts?

   JD: (Quotes from GitHub issue 136)
   ... Conclusion: It would be included; not pruned, because of
   aria-labelledby="foo"
   ... Even though reaching that conclusion is really hard and
   messy.

   JS: Then I would argue that the Core AAM is in conflict with
   the spec.
   ... I think that the text in the AAM is ambiguous.
   ... I think the text in the spec is not ambiguous.

   (Group discusses variations of Joseph's original example and
   whether or not it would be included or excluded and what spec
   or specs apply)

   JS: I won't put the text in for now.

   CS: You could put the ARIA spec text in.

   JS: I think that my text is better as it is not limited to
   global ARIA attributes.

   CS: And I think your (Joseph's) text is better/less ambiguous.

   JD: I withdraw my previous suggestion that you (Joseph) hold
   off on committing it to Core AAM.
   ... I continue to think, however, we need to deal with this in
   the ARIA spec, and other specs.

   JS: Ok, I'll put it in the Core AAM.
