Hello Everyone, Since the last report we have had: 2 WONTFIX bugs. Details are in section 1. 1 NEEDSINFO bug. Details are in section 2. 2 WORKSFORME bugs. Details are in section 3. 2 REOPENED bugs. Details are in section 4. 8 NEW a11y bugs. Details are in section 5. Details are as follows. 1. WONTFIX BUGS: 1.1 Bug 12726: "Document should be on the Note-track" reported by Sam Ruby on behalf of Lachlan Hunt. Steve's Rationale: "As noted, there is no such distinction such as a note track and rec track based on whether a document contains normative requirements or not, it is appropriate to be considered a recommendation if there is an intention that the document is to be evolved over time, rather than written and then left to go stale. The alt spec is definitley a document that is written to provide current best practice and authoring requirements based on the realities of browser and assistive technology support for HTML features and as such will require updating on a regular basis and that is the intention." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12726#c2 1.2 Bug 12906: "Canvas should not pretend that it can be used to replace some input elements" reported by Tab Atkins Jr. Ian's Rationale: "Revert requested by the Chairs. Tab, if you want this back to FIXED, you need to use the escalation path in the Decision Process." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12906#c4 2. NEEDSINFO BUGS: 2.1 Bug 12727: "Contradicts HTML5" reported by Sam Ruby on behalf of Lachlan Hunt. Steve's comment: "The working group has not reached consensus on whether the HTML5 specification is the canonical source of requirements or advice in regards to the provision of text alternatives for images. As editor I intend to identify and note points of difference in normative requirements and informative advice between the alt spec and the HTML5 spec, people will then be free to file bugs against the differences. Differences are due to: * requirements in HTML5 not taking into account current browser, AT support realities * watering down of WCAG 2.0 requirements * lack of normative and/or informative advice in HTML5 for some use cases * The requirement and advice deficiencies in the current HTML5 may result in authors providing inaccessible content." Change Description: None. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12727#c2 3. WORKSFORME BUGS: 3.1 Bug 12848: "'Subtitle' I am deaf. I love html5, it is wonderful tool. One problem with html5 video is no subtitle or closed caption..." reported by contributor at whatwg.com. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12848 Silvia marked this bug WORKSFORME and sent the reporter an email. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_activity.cgi?id=12848 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2011Jun/0033.html 3.2 Bug 12848: "This is not the proper WG for this document" Reported by Sam Ruby on behalf of Janina Sajka. Steve's comment: "The argument that due to its content this document is being developed in the wrong working group must also be applied to the parts of the HTML5 specification that outline advice and requirements for the provision of text alternatives, as HTML5 contains similar requirements and advice. As long as the HTML5 specification contains such content, the right place for the alt spec is this working group. There is no obvious impediment to it's further development and maintenance by interested parties in the WAI just because it is being developed and maintained as a HTML working group product." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12728#c1 4. REOPENED BUGS: 4.1 Bug 9213: "HTML5 Lacks a Way to Programmatically-Determine Missing Text Alternatives" reported by Laura Carlson. Reopened by Laura Carlson. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9213#c5 4.2 Bug 12141: "<video> Specifically state that all <track> options be exposed to the end user " reported by John Foliot. Ian's comment: "Did Not Understand Request" Change Description: "no spec change". Rationale: I don't understand. Is this asking about UI requirements or about API requirements? If there is a confusion here, could someone who is confused let me know what is misleading them? I'm happy to fix the spec, I just don't get what's wrong here..." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12141#c11 Reopened by Silvia: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12141#c12 5.
