Weekly Resolved & Rejected Bugs Report

Hello Everyone,

Since the last report we have had:

1 NEW a11y bug reported. Details are in section 1.
4 VERIFIED BUGS. Details are in section 2.

17 total NEW a11y bugs existed on December 25, 2010. A December 25 bug
snapshot is at:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/New_A11Y_Bug_Snapshot_20101225

A backlog of 24 a11y bugs on the HTML5 Spec await task force decision
of whether to apply the a11ytf keyword or not. Details are in section
3.

Pre Last Call and Post Last Call status is identified for each bug in
this report. According to the HTML Chairs' message regarding
deadlines, January 22 is the cutoff for escalating Pre Last Call bugs
for Last Call  consideration. All issues need to be in the HTML
working group tracker by that date. The consequence of missing the
January 22 deadline is that any further escalations will be treated as
a Last Call comments.

The HTML5 accessibility bug status table is at:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs#Bug_Status_Table

Details are as follows.

1. NEW BUGS:

1.1 Post Last Call Bug 11593: "the <track> @kind attribute should
include all of the identified accessibility content types" reported
December 23, 2010 by John Foliot.
IMPORTANT: Post Last Call Bugs that missed the October 1, 2010 cutoff
date, are treated as Last Call comments according to the HTML Chairs'
"Timeline to Last Call" email. The Chairs may grant exceptions on a
case-by-case basis, but there is no guarantee that a bug filed after
the October 1 cutoff date will be settled before last call. John, you
or the media sub-team may want to ask for an exception for bug 11593
because if Ian fixes it, it could help solve HTML-ISSUE-9.
Alternately, since HTML-ISSUE-9 was raised before the Decision Policy
was created, bugs do not have to be filed for it. John, the media-sub
group, or any working group member for that matter can directly write
a Change Proposal in order to solve Issue 9. A Change Proposal would
need to be presented to the HTML Working Group by February 23, 2011.
