Details are in section 3. 4 FIXED bug resolutions. Details are in section 4. 1 ASSIGNED bug. Details are in section 5. 1 REMIND bug. Details are in section 6. 1 INVALID bug. Details are in section 7. 1 NEW a11y bug reported. Details are in section 8. 3 CLOSED bugs. Details are in section 9. 13 ESCALATED BUGS. Details are in section 10. 1 ESCALATED BUG to be DEESCALATED. Details are in section 11. 10 total NEW a11y bugs existed on October 16, 2010. An October 16 bug snapshot is at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/New_A11Y_Bug_Snapshot_20101016 A backlog of 101 a11y bugs on the HTML5 Spec await task force decision of whether to apply the a11ytf keyword or not. Details are in section 11. Details are as follows. 1. WONTFIX BUGS: 1.1 Bug 10837: "playbackrate: undefined behavior when the user agent can't play back at the requested rate" reported by Frank Olivier. Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "The spec already handles all the described cases." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10837 1.2 Bug 10914: Allow multiple space separated values for the ARIA role attribute" reported by Martin Kliehm. Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "This is out of scope for HTML, since HTML defers entirely to the ARIA spec for the definition of role="" and its conformance criteria for authors and user agents." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10914 1.3 Bug 10916: "Add a new <control> element to convey the common semantics of a script enabled UI control" reported by Adrian Bateman. Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "It seems that there are two basic approaches for this already specified, which should already be usable for the given use case of a development environment being careful not to break pages during editing..." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10916 1.4 Bug 10921: "Put back direct link to the W3C version of the canvas 2d context spec" reported by Steve Faulkner. Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "The link to the WHATWG wiki is only temporary until we find a better solution for registering these relations. In the meantime, the WG decided to drop the 2D Canvas section from the HTMLWG spec, and I've no interest in revisiting that subject." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10921 1.5 Bug 10963: "Table prohibited from being used as a layout aid" reported by Rich Schwerdtfeger. Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "This restriction has been in HTML for over a decade (and indeed since long before I was even out of high school). Allowing HTML tables to be used for layout would undo literally over a decade's worth of accessibility advocacy." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10963 Raised by Rich as Issue-130 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/130 1.6 Bug 10994: "accessKeyLabel can expose new information about the user and possibly also other origins" reported by Simon Pieters. Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Ian's Rationale: "The increase in information leakage is far smaller than the increase in usability that will result from this feature, IMHO." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10994 2. NEEDSINFO BUGS: 2.1 Bug 9876: "Clarify that a figure can be any content with a caption" reported by James Graham. Status: "Did Not Understand Request" Change Description: "no spec change" Rationale: I don't understand. Could you elaborate? http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9876 2.2 Bug 10713: "Drag and Drop: Add guidance for keyboard-only interaction" reported by Gez Lemon. Ian Marked NEEDSINFO on Oct 12. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10713 2.3 Bug 10841: "We require a method to allow the user to control playback timing in order to have more time to understand the material." reported by John Foliot. Status: "Did Not Understand Request" Change Description: "no spec change" Rationale: "see comment 1" Ian's Comment 1: "Could you elaborate? What change to the spec would satisfy this request, and what problem would that change address, specifically?" http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10841#c1 2.4 Bug 10853: "HTML5 lacks a verbose description mechanism" reported by Gregory J. Rosmaita. Status: "Did Not Understand Request" Change Description: "no spec change" Rationale: Gregory, please see comment 1. Thanks. Ian's Comment 1: "Why is the <p> element not sufficient?" http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10853#c1 Shelley added the TrackerRequest keyword. Sam removed the TrackerRequest keyword as this is already covered by ISSUE-30. 2.5 Bug 10888: "Access Command Requirements for HTML5" reported by Gregory J. Rosmaita. Status: "Did Not Understand Request" Change Description: "no spec change" Rationale: "see comment 1" Ian's Comment 1: "Could you clarify exactly what change you are requesting and what problem that change resolves?" http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10888#c1 2.6 Bug 10900: "HTML to Platform Accessibility APIs Implementation Guide" "reported by Steve Faulkner. Status: "Partially Accepted" Change Description: no spec change yet" Rationale: "That seems reasonable. I'll mark this bug NEEDSINFO in the meantime. Please re-open the bug if a plurality of implementors do indeed agree that this document is helpful enough to the point that it should be given the special status of being explicitly referenced from the spec." 2.7 Bug 10918: "provide better examples" reported by Steve Faulkner. Status: "Did Not Understand Request" Change Description: "no spec change" Rationale: "Do you have any suggestions?" http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10918 2.8 Bug 10927: "collection of all interactive (actionable, focusable) elements" reported by Cynthia Shelly. Status: "Did Not Understand Request" Change Description: "no spec change" Rationale: "see comment 2" Ian's Comment 2: "Could you give an example of a script that would use such an API? I don't understand the use case." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10927#c2 2.9 Bug 10933: "add link types that create hyperlinks to 7.4.2 Focus management" reported by Cynthia Shelly. Status: "Did Not Understand Request" Change Description: "no spec change" Rationale: "see comment 1" Ian's Comment 1: "All links can be focused if the platform focuses links; why would specific link types be listed here? I don't understand what problems is being resolved here. Can you describe a situation where interoperability would be harmed if we don't have this requirement?" http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10933#c1 3. REOPENED BUGS: 3.1 Bug 10988: "add slider element" reported by Jim Michaels. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10988 4. FIXED BUGS: 4.1 Bug 10419: "<video> should allow muted as a content attribute" reported by Adrian Bateman. Ian's rationale: "I've added a feature equivalent to the requested feature, though using a slightly different syntax, for the reasons discussed in this bug." Checked in as WHATWG revision r5636. Check-in comment: Add <video audio=muted>. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5635&to=5636 4.2 Bug 10450: "Allow lists to be used as menus or tab sets" reported by Maciej Stachowiak. Ian's rationale: "Maciej did some digging in the ARIA specs and found the following...The remaining issue in this bug therefore seems to be handled by bug 10919. I'll fix it there and am returning this bug to the FIXED state as per comment 1." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10450#c19 Steve added the TrackerIssue Keyword for HTML WG Issue 129 4.3 Bug 10919: "Allow role="presentation" to override the default role of any element" reported by Martin Kliehm. Ian's rationale: "See bug 10450 comment 19. It seems that the ARIA spec is very confused on this issue, but in the interests of expediency, and under the assumption that the ARIA spec will be corrected to match implementations, I've changed the spec to allow role=presentation everywhere." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10919 Check-in comment: "Allow role=presentation everywhere" http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5632&to=5633 4.4 Bug 11012: "Allow role="presentation" to override the default role of any element" reported by Leif Halvard Silli. Ian's rationale: "I added text similar to what you suggest, but I didn't include the mention of the target="" attribute since opening new windows leads to a poor user experience (and all the more so to AT users)." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11012 Check-in comment: suggest another alternative for longdesc http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5629&to=5630 Note: This bug went from NEW to ASSIGNED to FIXED this week. 5. ASSIGNED BUGS: 5.2 Bug 10903: "provide an introduction to wai-aria in the wai aria section of the spec" reported by Steve Faulkner. Ian assigned this bug to himself. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10903 6. REMIND BUGS: 6.1 Bug 10941: " Media elements need control-independent "pause" for presenting lengthy descriptions/captions" reported by Masatomo Kobayashi. Ian's Rationale: "Without actual implementation experience, it's hard to know if the suggestion in comment 7 would actually solve the problem. I agree that we will need to address this. My recommendation would be to have implementations of audio descriptions experiment with this to find what the best user experience is. Once we have a clear solution, then we can update the specification accordingly. We don't want to specify something prematurely, because doing so would risk disenfranchising the very people we are trying to help, by requiring suboptimal behaviour. I've marked this REMIND so that I can check on it regularly to see if any real-world experience has been obtained. Feel free to reopen this if a browser vendor implements <video> with audio descriptions and has found a solution to this problem (either now or in the future)." Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: none yet http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10941 7. INVALID BUGS: 7.1 Bug 10905: "Clarify how assigning an accesskey to an element affects the elements default role" reported by Steve Faulkner. Ian's Rationale: "This bug does not seem to request a change to the spec." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10905 8. NEW BUGS: 8.1 Bug 11012: "Also say that <area>/image maps is an alternative to @longdesc" reported by Leif Halvard Silli. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11012 9. CLOSED BUGS: 9.1 Bug 9936: "onclick attributes on any element that is not focusable should trigger a conformance error" reported by Steve Faulkner. Status: CLOSED NEEDSINFO by Sam Ruby per: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Oct/0135.html http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9936 9.2 Bug 9871: "Provide normative advice to conformance checkers about use of onevent handler attributes" reported by Steve Faulkner. Status: CLOSED WONTFIX by Sam Ruby per: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Oct/0135.html http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9871 9.3 Bug 9872: "Trigger a conformance error when javascript is included in href attribute" reported by Steve Faulkner.
