Hello Everyone, 1. PRE-LAST CALL BUGS: Fifty-One Pre-Last Call 1 accessibility task force (a11ytf) bugs exist which have not been escalated to the HTML Tracker or marked "verified" or marked "closed" as of January 1, 2011. A detailed snapshot of these fifty-one bugs is at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/SnapshotPLC1_20110101 Please check the snapshot details for bugs that you may have reported and for bugs that may have been have been assigned to you. Please close bugs that are satisfactorily resolved. Those not satisfactorily resolved can be escalated to an issue. This will enable the full HTML Working Group the ability to address the problem and the HTML Chairs the ability to make a decision. January 22, 2011 is the deadline for escalating Pre-Last Call 1 bugs to a HTML WG Issue if the reporter, or the task force, or any individual working group member for that matter, is not satisfied with the editor's resolution. For details on escalating a Bug to an Issue please refer to the instructions at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/Escalating_a_Bug_to_an_Issue Consequences of missing the January 22 deadline is that any further escalations will be treated as Last Call comments. 2.

POST LAST CALL BUG ACTIVITY SINCE LAST REPORT: Since the last report one a11y bug was marked INVALID, one was marked WONTFIX, one was marked LATER. No new a11y bugs were reported. 3.1 INVALID BUG: Post Last Call Bug 11238: "Enable canvas to support accessible rich text editing" reported by Rich Schwerdtfeger. Ian's Rationale: "Please file only one issue per bug...Note that as a general rule, it is not good design to provide features to help authors abuse other features. Authors who use just <canvas> and JavaScript to create applications are abusing HTML, and should not be supported." Change Description: no spec change http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11238 3.2 WONTFIX BUG: Post Last Call Bug 11140: "Physical Keys and Gestures for 'accesskey' attribute The use of ASCII/Unicode code points for key binding has numerous well-known drawbacks. There are vital physical keyboard keys with no Unicode representation..." reported by contributor. Ian's Rationale: "Support for keywords to reference specific things, e.g. gestures or special keys (like F1), is something that is intentionally left open for a future version, but before we go there we really need more experience with the changes we've done so far." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11140 3.3 LATER BUG: Post Last Call Bug 11199: "Need standard way to creating heading streams" reported by Laurent Goderre. Ian's Rationale: "As noted by reporter in comment 11, we should revisit this for a future version." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11199 4.
