... He took back some info on new <video> tag and we saw prototype of UA 
rendering <video>

controls chrome?

<oedipus> GJR +1 that controls are chrome if "rendered natively"

pparente: Agree

JA: Agree

<scribe> ACTION: JA to Make a proposal for new checkpoint related to 
native rendering of video and communication with AccessAPI etc [recorded 
in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/15-ua-minutes.html#action01]

GR: XHTML2 doesn't like video, audio etc. and instead likes "role"s for 
OBJECT
... More info at: 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xhtml2/2007Nov/0015.html

JA: Should we be concerned about HTML5 vs XHTML2?

JR: Don't think so...we should keep things at a more general level.

GR: Agree
... BTW: XHTML2 is dropping handler from XML events....purpose handler 
suggested by PF
... So trying figure out next PF steps....maybe via WebAPI group

JA: How to markup document changes?

GR: Checked into it - but no screen readers read style sheet info.
... Screen readers just scrape the screen.

PP: So colour info just not available?

GR: For named colours...can look for colour X on colour Y for example

PP: In Linux in Firefox the info goes into AccessAPI

GR: Right that's why I went to Orca since they use that

KF: To clarify, Jaws does deal a bit with where style tags are etc
... Can configure how to look for stylesheets

<KFord> Here's a technical support bulletin for JAWS and CSS.

GR: So that's why I contacted Orca - working with Linux as well as 
iAccessible2 on Windows
... Will try to find strategies for marking changes

JA: We have some issues here at the school with power and I need to 
leave call...
... So we'll wrap up.
