Issues
[14]Issue 121
[14]
http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#121
IJ: Two reviewers felt that checkpoints should be organized according
to developer tasks.
DP: I saw a comment from Lake that developers need to have
information
rapidly and according to needs of developer. Put the meat up front.
Tim Lacy had made the same comment at the face-to-face.
MQ: You have to know what the meat is. People's ideas differ, so
you're back to square one.
IJ: What about reorganization based on categories of developers
(e.g.,
UI v. content).
DP: If we reorganize, I like UI v. content.
No resolution.
[15]Issue 115
[15]
http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#115
Checkpoint for text magnification/shrinking with maintenance of
relative scaling?
HB: I prefer NN's solution to IE's.
DP: Don't we address this in the configuration checkpoint.
DP: What happens today in NN and IE?
HB: Netscape does scaling.
MQ: IE 5 gives you a list box with five choices.
DB: There's a button in the latest IE.
DP: NN doesn't tell you when the end of decrease occurs. It doesn't
cycle around.
MK: You also want to be able to go to the default.
MK, MQ: This sounds like a technique.
JA: You can use the mouse + wheel to scroll sizes in IE 5.
HB: There's another observation: we're magnifying without refolding.
The IE approach scales and reformats. Scroll bars appear if
necessary.
MQ: Do we want to "standardize" this?
IJ: I would say at most checkpoint Pri 3.
DP: For screen readers, it is useful to be able to shrink text size.
MQ: What if a person has large print already?
EH: When you normally increase the font size, you change text
wrapping.
HB: A screen magnifier doesn't wrap.
EH: That's what I"m thinking about.
No conclusion. Take to the list.
[16]Issue 116 (Eric Hansen issues)
[16]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999OctDec/0409.html
IJ: Issues 7-10 dropped based on Ian/EH telephone call.
EH#11: Closed captions to captions.
IJ: comments still coming in on that one.
Re: "Braille" or "braille".
IJ: We resolved last week "Braille".
IJ: Haptic - comments still coming in.
EH#16: "continuous equivalent track" v. "synchronized equivalent"
MK: Depends on what you want to emphasize - time-dependency or
synchronized
EH: I even have concerns about "synchronized equivalents". I think it
has some of the same problems or ambiguities. I don't think it's
necessary since we already talk about the synchronizations that we
want in the definition of caption, auditory description, and
transcripts for audio clips. I think it suffices to name what we want
rather than using an additional term.
IJ: I think the abstraction is useful conceptually.
MK: I think what we were emphasizing in the SMIL Access Note was
their
time-dependency. You can synchronize discrete equivalents as well.
EH: What does synchronization mean in the context of matching
discrete
elements with its auditory equivalent? If you have a text box with a
collated text transcript and a movie besides it, is that
synchronization?
MK: You can synchronize the beginning.
EH: In the context of the present document, I don't see any reason to
use the term "synchronized alternative" since we can identify what
we're talking about.
EH: WCAG 1.3 can be broken down into two simpler checkpoints with
explicit reference to the elements (captions, auditory descriptions,
etc) we're talking about.
EH: In short: "synchronize" is part of the definition of the
alternative, so not necessary to repeat it.
MK: I like the idea of explicitly saying what is needed.
EH: I think there needs to be some flexibility in time coordination
between components that's nto implied in the current definition of
"synchronization".
MK: We need to explore what "synchronization" means in different
situations.
Action MK: Write some comments on synchronization to the list.
IJ: Examination of checkpoint 2.5. Only one checkpoint where
"continuous eq" occurs.
Action EH: Propose new wording for 2.5
EH Issue #18
Proposed new checkpoint to meet [17]WCAG 1.3 demands for auditory
descriptions.
[17] http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/#gl-provide-equivalents
Refer to [18]Marja comments on this proposal.
[18]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999OctDec/0430.html
MK: There is a problem - the text equivalent might not contain the
time codes. These are needed so that the text equvalent is
synchronized correctly with other audio. The author needs to put in
the time codes. This is a lacuna of the Web Content 1.3.
EH: I agree.
GR: The requirement would be applicable for UAs that support speech.
IJ: Need to amend "native" to include features of the operating
system.
Resolved: Amend "native" definition to include features provided by
the operating system.
DB: We're not requiring that UAs be able to recognize time codes.
MK: If we want equivalent of time codes, we are. It would also be
useful to be able to read the collated text transcript on its own.
EH: The requirement of full synchronization with full transcript is
not a Pri 1 requirement.
IJ: I think there are so many prerequisites towards getting this
done,
that the requirement is too watered-down.
MQ: This sounds like something people choose to implement, but it
doesn't sound like it's possible today.
MK: One thing that is possible is that, if you have text-to-speech,
you should be able to use it with the browser.
DB: My problem here is that we're requiring something of all user
agents.
EH: One suggestion was for a provision more or less stating "When W3C
produces a spec describing how to synchronize, then follow that
spec."
Something has to be in UAGL that points to this WCAG requirement.
IJ: This is covered by Guideline 6.
IJ: I don't think 1.3 necessarily maps to a UAGL requirement. I think
this is similar to "Implement tables."
GR: I think we need to talk to PF. And get a more concrete proposal.
This may be an issue that can't be resolved before PR.
IJ: Why is this different than "implement lists"?
EH: One difference is that there's an explicit requirement in WCAG. I
think clarification is required in the WCAG WG (what are we talking
about with "synchornized alternatives"). Then we need to follow
through with other W3C Guidelines.
Action EH: Refine proposal on the list.
MQ: Get Windows media people to comment on this.
