Hello Everyone, This is my last bug report. I hope that the task force co-facilitators have found someone to continue these reports. Thanks for the opportunity to have contributed to this aspect of task force work. Now on to the report. Since the last report we have had: 2 NEEDSINFO bugs. Details are in section 1. 1 FIXED bug. Details are in section 2. 2 NEW a11y bugs. Details are in section 3. A backlog of eleven a11y bugs on the HTML5 Spec await the Bug Team's decision of whether to apply the a11ytf keyword or not. An additional backlog of ten a11y bugs on the Text Alternatives Techniques spec await the Bug Team's decision of whether to apply the a11ytf keyword or not. Details are in section 4. The latest Accessibility Resolved Bug Comparison is at: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/html5bugchart/20110630/ Details are as follows. 1. NEEDSINFO BUGS: 1.1 Bug 12900: "A global attribute "contentaddedbyeditor" would be incredibly useful when testing for accessibility..." reported by contributor at WHATWG. Aryeh Gregor marked this bug NEEDSINFO. Aryeh's comment: "I don't understand the use-case. Please explain what this attribute would actually be used for in practice. If possible, please give examples of real-world web pages or software that would use it, and explain exactly how they would use it, and what problems they face without it. Note that if the attribute is only intended for use by internal processing tools, and not browsers or search engines or other things that aren't under the author's control, there's no need for standardization -- that's exactly what data-* is meant for." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12900 1.2 Bug 12875: "remove the link *Providing a text alternative that is not null. (e.g., alt="spacer" or alt="image") for images that should be ignored by assistive technology [WCAG20-TECHS]*." reported by Michael Smith on behalf of Reinaldo Ferraz. Steve's rationale: "Unsure about what the issue with the linked reference is, can you provide more explanation?..." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12875#c1 2. FIXED BUG: 2.1 Bug 12776: "Define process for deciding whether a draft is REC-track or Note-track" reported by Maciej Stachowiak. Maciej marked this bug fixed and commented "Defined here as per comment #1: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy-v2.html.diff?r1=1.34&r2=1.33&f=h " Note 5.d: "If both sides provide rationale, we hold a survey. Since this is a process, not a technical decision, the survey is by individual not organization, and subject to quorum requirements, majority wins. If we do not achieve quorum, the Chairs will decide whether to re-run the survey or table the issue." http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12776#c1 3.
