<cklaws> JR: looking at conditional content checkpoint - was P1 and was 
long - took brainstorming and looked at levels

<cklaws> Changed name of checkpoint from rendered content to provide 
access to conditional content

<cklaws> To make level A

<cklaws> The user can browse and request the rendering of any items in a

<cklaws> *conditional content stack* that are encoded in *technologies* 
that the

<cklaws> user agent supports.

<cklaws> If UA doesn't do Flash, then doesn't need to render that

<cklaws> Update def of conditional content

<cklaws> in glossary

GLOSSARY:

"conditional content stack"

The set of *conditional content* items for a given position in content.

The items may be mutually exclusive (e.g., regular contrast graphic vs.

high contrast graphic) or non-exclusive (e.g., caption track that can

play at the same time as a sound track).

"Conditional content"

Conditional content is content that should be made available to users

only under certain conditions (e.g., based on user preferences or

operating environment limitations). Some examples include:

- The alt attribute of the IMG element in HTML 4.

- OBJECT elements in HTML 4.

- The switch element and test attributes in SMIL 1.0.

- The NOSCRIPT and NOFRAMES elements in HTML 4.

Note: Specifications vary in how completely they define how and when to

render conditional content.

2.3 Provide access to conditional content (P1)

Level A:

1. The user can browse and request the rendering of any items in a

*conditional content stack* that are encoded in *technologies* that the

user agent supports.

2. For visual user agents, if the user requests the rendering of an item

in the *conditional content stack* that has on-screen dimensions that

are larger than the default rendered item, then a configuration should

control which dimensions are used.

3. If an item in the *conditional content stack* is plain text (e.g. alt

text) then it is available programmatically even when not on-screen.

4. Previously rendered items can continue to be rendered alongside other

items in the *conditional content stack* unless the user agent can

detect a mutual exclusion.

Level AA:

5. The user can set preferences for which items in a *conditional

content stack* are rendered by default.

6. The user is alerted to the presence of non-rendered items in the

*conditional content stack* that are encoded in *technologies* that the

user agent supports.

Level AAA:

<cklaws> If 2 audios and one is louder than the first, you could run 
into problems

<cklaws> JA: State generally and the work in specific case

<scribe> ACTION: JR to Work on 2.3 proposal to make provision 2 more 
general - not just visual [recorded in 
http://www.w3.org/2007/12/13-ua-minutes.html#action05]

<cklaws> 3. Should be in DOM even when not rendered - or in a11y API

<scribe> ACTION: JR to Check out "available programmatically " to see if 
we have a defn [recorded in 
http://www.w3.org/2007/12/13-ua-minutes.html#action06]

<cklaws> programatically should include accessibility APIs

<cklaws> 4. KF: Should show original content plus conditional at the sam 
time

<cklaws> be able to render each of the items at request - but need to be 
able to see simultaneously sometimes like video and caption

<cklaws> basic sound track plus audio description - timed to play at the 
same time - but two different language sound track would be mutually 
exclusive

<cklaws> need to identify which is mutually exclusiv

<cklaws> JF: maybe rules of thumb about mutually exclusive

<cklaws> sorry JR:

<cklaws> 5. For double AA - user specifies preferences

<cklaws> single A is query, double AA inform immediately

JR: Please send any further thoughts to the list

KF: Have a question for the WG...
... On Monday Microsoft and other companies announced Accessibility 
Interoperability Alliance

http://www.accessinteropalliance.org/newsevents/pr121007.html

KF: Some different projects...varying degree of relation to browser...
... But curious about group looking a keyboard shortcuts
... Should we be looking at what that group has to say?
... What does group think about this?

CL: These things going beyond Web

JA: I should take it to CG

* Consistent keyboard access. Developing a set of keyboard shortcuts to 
provide consistent behavior to users of assistive technology products in 
any Web browser

* Interoperability of accessibility APIs. Modifying and/or extending 
existing accessibility models (Microsoft UI Automation, IAccessible2 and 
others) to improve the interoperability and exchange of information 
between IT and assistive technology (AT) products

* UI Automation extensions. Adding features and capabilities to support 
additional rich document scenarios, address new Web scenarios and more.

* Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite (ARIA) mapping through UI 
Automation. Designing the mapping of rich Web accessibility information 
through UI Automation to ensure maximum value for AT products and,

CL: Interesting announcement...e.g. refers to iaccessible2 and also lots 
of PF stuff
