Hello Everyone, Since the last report no bugs were resolved FIXED or REOPENED. None were marked WONTFIX, NEEDSINFO, WORKSFORME, LATER, or DUPLICATE. The latest A11y resolved bug comparison is at: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/html5bugchart/20100918/ Seven NEW a11y bugs were reported since the last report. Section one below provides details. Twenty-six total NEW a11y bugs in total existed on September 18, 2010. A September 18 bug snapshot is at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/New_A11Y_Bug_Snapshot_20100918 One bug was marked INVALID since the last report. Section two below provides details. Three bugs were marked "VERIFIED WONTFIX" by the bug subteam. Marking a bug VERIFIED starts a TWO WEEKS clock to take action. If no action is taken, the bug is marked NoReply. A NoReply puts a bug in a terminal state. Section three provides details on how that works and the particular bugs placed in that state since the last report. A backlog of sixty-one a11y bugs on the HTML5 Spec await task force decision of whether to apply the a11ytf keyword or not. Section four provides details on VERIFIED bugs. Full details are as follows. 1.

INVALID BUGS: 2.1 Bug 10649: "drag and drop" reported by contributor@whatwg.org. Anne marked 10649 INVALID commenting "Not a bug report." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10645 3. VERIFIED BUGS: When a bug is placed in the VERIFIED state, the editor's response should be reviewed and one of following actions should be taken. * Reopen the bug. (Anyone can do this.) * Apply the "TrackerRequest" keyword. (Anyone can do this.) * Apply the "TrackerIssue" keyword. (Anyone with HTML WG Tracker privileges can do this.) * Close the bug. TWO WEEKS are allowed from the time a bug is marked VERIFIED to take action. If no action is taken, the bug is marked NoReply. A NoReply puts a bug in a terminal state. For more information consult the HTML Working Group Decision Policy: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html#bugzilla-bug The bug team placed the following three bugs in the VERIFIED state. 3.1 Bug 8674: "Add popup as a value for the type attribute for menu element" reported by Gez Lemon. VERIFIED WONTFIX added by Michael Cooper on behalf of the bug triage team saying, "Bug triage sub-team thinks the approach in the editor response addresses the issue." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8674#c4 3.2 Bug 8681: "Separator menu items" reported by Gez Lemon. VERIFIED WONTFIX added by Martin Kliehm on behalf of the bug triage team saying: "The specification says that an option with an empty value, disabled state and one or more hyphens as text creates a seperator node. Since the option is disabled it will not effect screen readers and is purely presentational. The HTML Accessibility TF Bug Triage Sub-team does not consider this as an accessibility issue and proposes to close the bug." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8681#c3 3.3 Bug 8754: "Overflow when text is resized" reported by Gez Lemon. VERIFIED WONTFIX added by Michael Cooper on behalf of the bug triage team saying, "Bug triage sub-team accepts disposition of this issue. There is a general user agent issue, but we believe this should be addressed in Implementing UAAG 2.0 and will refer this to the UAWG." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8754#c4 4.
