Subject: A11Y DPUB Meeting Tomorrow
 
Hello everyone, for those who can make it our new meeting time is now
Fridays at 8AM PDT, 11AM EDT, and (15:00 UTC).
 
Tomorrow we will continue with going over the WCAG General Techniques and
looking at all those that we have marked as questionable and decide if they
are or are not relevant to Digital Publishing.
FYI here is a record of the ones which we still have questions.  We have
already gone over the General Techniques that we marked as Not applicable to
Digital Publishing.
 

G178: Providing controls on the Web page that allow users to incrementally
change the size of all text on the page up to 200 percent

G181: Encoding user data as hidden or encrypted data in a re-authorization
page

G189: Providing a control near the beginning of the Web page that changes
the link text

G177: Providing suggested correction text

G179: Ensuring that there is no loss of content or functionality when the
text resizes and text containers do not change their width

G133: Providing a checkbox on the first page of a multipart form that allows
users to ask for longer session time limit or no session time limit

G139: Creating a mechanism that allows users to jump to errors

G143: Providing a text alternative that describes the purpose of the CAPTCHA

G144: Ensuring that the Web Page contains another CAPTCHA serving the same
purpose using a different modality

G155: Providing a checkbox in addition to a submit button

G164: Providing a stated time within which an online request (or
transaction) may be amended or canceled by the user after making the request
 
If we finish those we can move onto WCAG A11Y DPUB HTML Techniques
Here are the questionable items with these techniques

H35: Providing text alternatives on applet elements
?
Brijesh
?

H84: Using a button with a select element to perform an action
?
MiaL
The functionality should be supported where necessary in interactive
documents, but the technique itself may be too HTML-specific.

H85: Using OPTGROUP to group OPTION elements inside a SELECT
?
MiaL
See above comment for H84

H89: Using the title attribute to provide context-sensitive help
?
MiaL
Not sure here, even in HTML, there are better-supported ways of doing this.
Is this necessary/sufficient for DPUBs?

H93: Ensuring that id attributes are unique on a Web page
?
MiaL
May be too HTMLL-specific

H86: Providing text alternatives for ASCII art, emoticons, and leetspeak
?y
MiaL
Acknowledgment should be made for cases where emoticons or leet are being
used as part of the text, when it is important that the user know which
symbols are being used. 

H91: Using HTML form controls and links
?y
MiaL
DPUB-supported form control-types and links.
 
 
Thanks.
