Hi all, Tomorrow's HTML5 agenda [1] includes some accessibility items. (longdesc, ARIA , and canvas). Ideas on how to address them? LONGDESC: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/30 Sam wrote: > ISSUE-30 (longdesc) - Chairs Solicit Proposals > > Change Proposal: > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/0949.html > > Does this proposal need to be revised based on feedback? > > Is it time to call for counter-proposals? The full ISSUE-30 (Longdesc) Change Proposal Thread is at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/thread.html#msg949 ARIA RELATED: 1.

Any volunteers to write a change proposal? 3.

We need a realistic > due date. Steve, any update? Do issues 14, and 35 and 85 have some overlap? Gregory originally raised 14, November 2007, James Graham originally raised Issue 35, and Steve raised 85 a few days ago.

Thank you, Rich. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-canvas-api/2009OctDec/0019.html > Related: we have a draft Canvas spec, along with informal rationale > by Doug Sheppers and Maciej, with support by Microsoft, and a draft: > > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/0747.html > > It is unclear how the draft relates to Maciej's statement, and, in > fact, what the rationale is. How should we track this? Should we > start with a bug or an issue? How about a change proposal? Martin and I discussed this on Twitter a few days ago. He posted on list: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/0846.html My take is, whether it is split out or not, it still needs to be made accessible. Other thoughts?
