cc Jon or Ian.

6) Techniques Document review.
DEADLINE FOR TECHNIQUES: 17 November (preferable 15 November).
IJ: If you come upon an issue during a review, please send
issues to the list in individual emails (not as part of a larger
techniques document).
IJ: Please send *specific* techniques. My apologies for
current language/inconsistencies/unreadability.
1.1: Be more specific to mouse and keyboard.
IJ: Problems?
HB: Some table questions not yet resolved.
JG: Propose that if an accessible API is not available, then
implement one.
IJ: I don't think we should require them to implement additional
APIs.
MR: It sounds like some devices don't have keyboard API.
IJ: Requirement to use keyboard API in systems where it's standard.
KB: Does this have to be a checkpoint? Or can it be a technique?
GR: I can see the utility of such a checkpoint. But at this point
in the process, I don't know whether we know enough to make
its own checkpoint.
KB: So would the checkpoint say "Whatever device you're using,
provide an accessible way to access it."
IJ: I think hardware requirements are out of scope. We haven't
discussed "devices" before, only software.
DP: Some systems that have only a user agent (i.e., not a UA on
top of an operating system).
Action KB: Post information about Easy Access/Infrared
technology to list.
Technique expansions:
Jim Allan: Propose CSS Techniques
(section 3.1 and individual checkpoints, notably
of G3 and G4.)
Rich Schwerdtfeger: G1
DP, GR: G11, Form Techniques (3.5)
JA, IJ: Review Madeleine's techniques (for G2).
JA: A lot of MR's techniques fall into Guideline on control
of style.
DB: G5
CMN: G9, Script Techniques (3.6)
KB: G7
JG: G8, G2
HB: Continue on tables 3.3
MQ: G10
IJ: Links (3.2) All of them...
IJ: Goal:
a) Have a technique for each checkpoint.
b) Ensure that every checkpoint implemented in some browser.
Action RS: Send last call document to IBM's Web Team in Austin.
JG: Any documented accessibility features of SAMI?
Action DB: Contact Dave Bolnick about SAMI access.
Note: IJ and CMN will be at MS next week to discuss Guidelines
with IE Team.
JG: Add a new topic: Extensibility of user agent UI.
(add menu items, add code, etc.)
GR: Is this using visual basic?
JG: Not necessarily. You can add menu items and code.
RS: You can add chrome around browsing window. You can embed
the browsing component in a separate application.
JG: You can add items to the registry.
IJ: Seems to me to be covered by the configuration Guideline.
RS: We haven't discussed embedding browser into other applications
(e.g., specific look and feel for a particular disability).
7) On checkpoint 10.2
DB: Would prefer P3, but can live with P2.
Still waiting for review.
8) RS: "Implement" or "Support" HTML 4.0?
IJ: "Support" for things without specs.
"Implement" for things with specs.
9) No last call comments have come in yet!
10) Bryan Campbell's concern about deletion of keyboard Guideline.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999OctDec/0254.html
JG: We'll have this on our list of last call issues.
JG: Will discuss further at face-to-face based on other input
as well.
GR: I've talked to Bryan a little off-line to reassure him.
GR supports keyboard, but felt it was logically inconsistent
to push for device independence while emphasizing keyboard.
Pointed Bryan to initial proposal and asked to review last call
draft to see if his concerns were addressed.
11) Impact matrix
Action KB: Update impact matrix based on 5 November draft.
12) Current appendix for dependent UA functionalities
IJ: Does anyone have any objections?
None.
