Hello Everyone, Today January 22, 2011 is the deadline for escalating Pre-Last Call bugs to HTML WG Issues. Fifty Pre-Last Call accessibility task force (a11ytf) bugs exist which have not been escalated to the HTML Tracker or marked "verified" or marked "closed". A detailed snapshot of these fifty bugs is at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/SnapshotPLC1_20110122 Please check the snapshot 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. 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. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/LastCallTimeline Since the last report we have had: 3 REOPENED bugs. Details are in section 1. 1 NEW bugs reported. Details are in section 2. 2 CLOSED bugs. Details are in section 3. 3 TRACKER REQUESTS. Details are in section 4. 4 ISSUES with upcoming due dates and no change proposals submitted to the working group yet. Details are in section 4. 2 ISSUES with change proposals past due. Details are in section 5. We are down to a backlog of three a11y bugs on the HTML5 Spec awaiting task force decision of whether to apply the a11ytf keyword or not. Many thanks to the bug team for working on this. Details are in section 6. Details are as follows. 1. REOPENED BUGS: 1.1 Pre-Last Call Bug 10482: "Specify how @usemap affects role (of <img> and <object>)" reported by Leif Halvard Silli. Reopened by Leif Halvard Silli. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10482#c4 1.2 Pre-Last Call Bug 10618: "Use "unmapped" rather than "no role" in the weak/strong ARIA tables" reported by Leif Halvard Silli. Reopened by Leif Halvard Silli. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10618#c5 1.3 Pre-Last Call Bug 10518: "Add example showing how to use <a> elements in image maps" reported by Leif Halvard Silli. Reopened by Leif Halvard Silli. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10518#c12 2. NEW BUGS: 2.1 Bug 11798: "It has been brought to my attention by some browser vendors that browsers don't actually implement accessibility API annotations exactly the way the ARIA spec says to; instead, they have default mappings from HTML directly to the accessibility APIs that they use unless an explicit role="" has been given. So it might make sense to change this section so that it is nothing but conformance criteria for authors, removing the UA conformance criteria relating to ARIA and platform AAPIs from the HTML spec altogether." reported by contributor@whatwg.org. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11798 3. CLOSED BUGS: 3.1 Pre-Last Call Bug 10497: "What happens to role of <img alt="non-empty"> inside a <figure role="img">?" reported by Leif Halvard Silli; closed by Leif. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10497 3.2 Pre-Last Call Bug 10605: "Typo: Replace 'the alt attribute's value may be omitted' with '@alt may be omitted'" reported by Leif Halvard Silli; closed by Leif. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10605 4. TRACKER REQUEST BUGS: 4.1 Pre-Last Call Bug 9428: "Permit <object> to be used without the data or type attribute present" reported by Leif Halvard Silli. Leif added the TrackerRequest keyword. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9428 4.2 Pre-Last Call Bug 9657: "Content model of object" reported by Leif Halvard Silli.
