1.1 Issues

Hi all,

I just took a look through our open and pending issues for guideline 1.1 
and it looks like they should be fairly easy to close. I've included a 
quick summary of the open issues [1] below.

Issue 952
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=952>
Relates to L3 SC3, though the term "explicitly associated" is no longer 
part of the requirement, though ease of access to the script is still 
important. I think the sufficient techniques outlined at 
http://trace.wisc.edu/wcag_wiki/index.php?title=Guide_to_1.1_L3_SC1 
should be enough to close this. Suggest that we check with the reviewer 
once this draft is a bit closer to final form.

Issue 1428
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1428>
Expresses confusion over the "How to..." links in current draft. The 
current direction the editors are headed on this is to include links 
that say "Guide to" instead, but I think this should remain open until 
we've done a bit more work on how all the documents will fit together.

Issue 1488
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1488>
Proposes revising L3 SC1 to read:
<proposed>For multimedia content, a combined transcript of audio
descriptions of video and captions is available.</proposed>
There is also a proposal from Joe to delete this SC.
Suggest that we discuss the proposed wording and survey the WG on this.

Issue 1561
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1561>
Proposes adding the type of chart to an example. Suggest that we accept 
this proposal and close this issue.

Issue 1562
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1562>
Raises concerns about example 8. Suggest that we accept suggestions and, 
to address the conflict with 2.2, revise to say that the table us 
updated upon request.

Issue 1698
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1698>
Suggests adding an example where audio and video are combined. However, 
this SC is about audio-only and video-only content and examples that 
combine audio and video would be covered under guideline 1.2. Suggest 
that we close this issue.

Issue 1703
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1703>
Suggests moving criterion about AT ignoring alternatives to level 2. 
Suggest that we close this issue with the following rationale:
The WG believes that the ability for AT to ignore non-text content is an 
important part of knowing whether the information they're receiving is 
complete. Experiencing non-text content without a label (ex. by 
filename) begs the question, "what have I missed?" while identifying 
non-text content that should be ignored provides peace of mind that the 
non-text content was not labeled for good reason.

Issue 666
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=666>
Raises some good points regarding the immediacy of a link to a 
transcript and metadata. Suggest that these be covered in guide doc and 
that we check back with reviewer.

Issue 895
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=895>
This is a fairly complex issue that has not yet been discussed by the 
WG. The last comment suggests how 4 changes to the last public draft 
might address this. Suggest that we take this to the WG in survey form 
this week for discussion.

Issue 937
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=937>
Includes some proposals regarding examples for the L3 SC1 criterion. 
Suggest we accept these proposals and close this issue.

Issue 1104
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1104>
This issue requires clarification from the reviewer.

Issue 1138
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1138>
Also needs clarification from the reviewer. Guide doc drafts may help 
emphasize/clarify as well.
