Hi gang,
Looking at our latest working draft, at
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#visual-audio-contrast-dis-audio
I noticed that we appear to have missed a few "web page" substitutions
in the Note.
Here's our additional guidance for 1.4.2:
This applies directly as written, and as described in INTENT from
Understanding WCAG 2.0 (above) replacing "on a Web page" with "in a
non-web document
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#documentdef> or
software
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_softwaredef>
" and "any content" with "any part of a non-web document
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_documentdef>
or software
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_softwaredef>".
With these substitutions, it would read:
1.4.2 Audio Control: If any audio in a non-web document
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_documentdef>
or software
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_softwaredef>
plays automatically for more than 3 seconds, either a mechanism
is available to pause or stop the audio, or a mechanism is
available to control audio volume independently from the overall
system volume level. (Level A)
*Note: *Since any part of a non-web document
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_documentdef>
or software
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_softwaredef>
that does not meet this success criterion can interfere with a
user's ability to use the whole page, all content on the Web
page (whether or not it is used to meet other success criteria)
must meet this success criterion. See Conformance Requirement 5:
Non-Interference.
I noticed this while doing a compare with the 5Dec12 M376 EN, which
states for 1.4.2 for software:
*1.4.2 Audio Control:*If any audio in software plays automatically
for more than 3 seconds, either a mechanism is available to pause or
stop the audio, or a mechanism is available to control audio volume
independently from the overall system volume level. (Level A)
Since any content that does not meet this success criterion can
interfere with a user's ability to use the software application, all
content in the software (whether or not it is used to meet other
success criteria) must meet this success criterion. See WCAG 2.0
Conformance Requirement 5: Non-Interference.
I think we need to spell out further substitutions. To wit:
This applies directly as written, and as described in INTENT from
Understanding WCAG 2.0 (above) replacing "on a Web page" with "in a
non-web document
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#documentdef> or
software
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_softwaredef>
", *"whole page" with "whole document or software"*, *"on the Web
page" with "in the document or software"* and "any content" with
"any part of a non-web document
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_documentdef>
or software
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_softwaredef>".
With these substitutions, it would read:
1.4.2 Audio Control: If any audio in a non-web document
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_documentdef>
or software
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_softwaredef>
plays automatically for more than 3 seconds, either a mechanism
is available to pause or stop the audio, or a mechanism is
available to control audio volume independently from the overall
system volume level. (Level A)
*Note: *Since any part of a non-web document
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_documentdef>
or software
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2012/WD-wcag2ict-20121126/#wcag2ict_softwaredef>
that does not meet this success criterion can interfere with a
user's ability to use the *whole document or software*, all
content *in the document or software* (whether or not it is used
to meet other success criteria) must meet this success
criterion. See Conformance Requirement 5: Non-Interference.
We could also go with the M376 language, and start our Note with "Since
any content that does not meet..." as they do, but we'd have a more
complex substitution to describe in prose that way.
Is this something we can address (and resolve) in e-mail NOW? Or
perhaps as part of the WCAG WG meeting on Thursday?
Sorry I didn't notice it earlier...
Peter
