Steve and I need to talk on this. jb: Steve did acknowledge the feedback janina: Will ping him It is critical to note that supporting the accessibility of graphical images always requires appropriate alternative content markup. In some cases, of course, this means that images are marked "presentational," as with current ARIA based markup, or with an alt null string, alt="", as from HTML 4. In no instance can images without appropriate alternative markup be considered accessible. jb: Suggests suggesting the above to Steve. table summary: expanded use cases? <http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/ReinstateTableSummary> janina: Lyn has provided use cases. ... I will go to this, but need to finish the response to Matt. jf: Re improving table summary are we addressing discoverability and user interaction? janina: We need to check that. Should do it as well as our longdesc cp jf: Since html5 doesn't proscribe user agent behavior, we need to simply provide appropriate guidance elsewhere, perhaps from UAWG, PF. janina: I will try and follow up with Josh directly. jb: And Lyn? janina: Will respond jb: Perhaps a teleconference with you Lynn and Josh? janina: Yes generated content: progress on discussions? <http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13668> jf: No time for it yet ... ... Still confusion around this, ... We had a draft this week from Opera that used css for printing only ... Wondering if there's confusion among implementers of what css should be used for? [discussion on whether css generated should be voiced, or under what circumstances] janina: Noting that PF is requesting a meet with CSS at TPAC.
