Re: Dealy in "Common Purposes"

Hi Alastair

browser support for years

Yes absolutely... further in
​my
 email I suggested that we consider limiting the SC to HTML.
​With each of Gregg's questions the only clear answer I was able to come up
with was HTML autofill.​ However, Léonie is making a good case against
referencing HTML directly and sticking with our list in the spec... I think
Lisa would rather also prefer our list instead of referencing HMTL 5.2 ...
so ...

Lisa

I would like to see a more robust answer to Gregg's questions other than
implementations are in place and coming... so far I haven't seen an
explanation of how this will work, and the implementations I've seen seem
to be general personalization widgets rather than an implementation of a
set of form fields with a mapping functionality back to our common
purposes...

Here are Gregg's questions:

=====

 how are different languages and different taxonomies being handled?

how does the AT find the mapping of new terms back to the definitions in
WCAG?

   - how does AT know the format of the map?
   - it is machine readable?
   - how does the AT find that map?

=====

Are you saying
schema
​,​
microdata
​,​
 COGA attributes will all map back to our numbered list
​ in these mapping documents that sit in the AT? If there are currently no
implementations of this, is it reasonable to at least provide a step by
step description of how it will work once implemented.
