Details are in section 12. Details are as follows. 1. WONTFIX BUGS: 1.1 Bug 10066: "replace section 3.2.6 with the alternative spec text provided (ARIA)" reported by Steve Faulkner. Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "there is no problem here" http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_activity.cgi?id=10066 1.2 Bug 10642: "No alternative text description for video key frame (poster)" reported by Everett Zufelt. Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "The request here is just cargo-cult accessibility and would not actually improve the life of any users, while costing authors in wasted time and effort." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10642 1.3 Bug 10661: "use an ISO 639-2 specified language for HTML5 documents" reported by Gregory J.

Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: "I'm closing this on the basis that it's out of scope for the HTML spec and should be handled by the URI and video format specs." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10723 1.5 Bug 10903: "Provide an introduction to wai-aria in the wai aria section of the spec" reported by Steve Faulkner. Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "The chairs never got around to resolving their side of this, so I'll just close this without change. This will likely end up being done as part of that issue anyway." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_activity.cgi?id=10903 2. NEEDSINFO BUGS: 2.1 Bug 8716: "Replace img Guidance for Conformance Checkers with Suggested Text for Short Text Alternatives" reported by Laura Carlson. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8716 Status: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "I don't understand.

FIXED BUGS: 3.1 Bug 9471: "Introduce declarative markup to associate timed text resources with media elements" reported by SSilvia Pfeiffer http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9471 Status: Accepted Change Description: It's big.

ASSIGNED BUGS: 4.1 Bug 9452: "Handling of additional tracks of a multitrack audio/video resource" reported by Silvia Pfeiffer. Ian's comment: "It's way too early to do multitrack.." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9452#c6 Maciej's comment: "I think implementers are at the point where we are ready to add support for descriptive audio and the like, whether or not it's in the spec (in addition to captions and text-to-speech descriptive audio). It would be helpful if the spec gave guidance on how to do that implementation work." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9452#c7 5. NEW BUGS: 5.1 Bug 10660: "use < and > and not ← and → to indicate previous and next" reported by Gregory J. Rosmaita. This week Ian marked this bug WONTFIX. Gregory reopened it. Ian then reset it to being "NEW". http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10660 5.2 Bug 11279: "The 'assigned access key' section doesn't seem to know if it's a definition or a requirement. Should probably be rephrased to more correctly use RFC2119." reported by contributor@whatwg.org. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11279 6.
