Focus on input configuration

Accept 2 / 1 More / 2 Neutral

MH: "Input configurations may be affected by author-specified bindings
(e.g., through the accesskey attribute of HTML 4 [HTML4])."

Is this a statement of what has happened, and should continue, OR should we
say that such is not a good thing?

"Input configurations should not be affected by author-specified bindings
(e.g., through the accesskey attribute of HTML 4 [HTML4]) without first
notifying the user."

JR: is in glossary, is a statement of fact that authors can set keyboard
bindings

JA: true - any more thoughts?

KF: I agree with JR
... talk about this in some places

JA: Addressed elsewhere
... Still missing the negotiating keybindings
... Should we also mention JavaScript - or leave it as there may be many
otherways to do this

KF: as it is, this is one illustration, could be many more.

KF + JA: so leave it this way

RESOLUTION: as The set of "bindings" between user agent functionalities and
user interface input mechanisms (e.g., menus, buttons, keyboard keys, and
voice commands). The default input configuration is the set of bindings the
user finds after installation of the software. Input configurations may be
affected by author-specified bindings (e.g., through the accesskey attribute
of HTML 4 [HTML4]).

<jeanne> ACTION: JS to update the glossary with the definition of input
configuration [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2009/04/16-ua-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-180 - Update the glossary with the definition of
input configuration [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2009-04-23].

JA: Proposal - interactive element, non-interactive element

5 Accept / 1 More

JR: (More) Comment - leaves out non-interactive

JA: (Accept) Comment - should programmatic enablement be 'scripting'?

<AllanJ> SH: if we use scripting, are we confining to a specific language

<JR> Elements that by specification or programming have associated behaviors
....

<kford> +1 to JR.

SH: That sounds good

+1 to JR

<AllanJ> +1

<Henny> +1

<jeanne> +1

<KimPatch> +1

JA: Junk the 'non-interactive element' part of the title
... any Objections?

<kford> +1 to removal

JS: Good - clarifys

+1 to removal

RESOLUTION: remove on-interactive element to make 'interactive element' NOT
interactive element, non-interactive element

RESOLUTION: to -- Elements that by specification or programming have
associated behaviours to be executed or carried out as a result of user or
programmatic interaction. (e.g., in HTML 4 [HTML4] the interactive elements
include: links, image maps, form elements, elements with a value for the
longdesc attribute, and elements with event handlers explicitly associated
with them).

<scribe> ACTION: sharper to investigate / review interactive and enabled for
contradictions. [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2009/04/16-ua-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-181 - Investigate / review interactive and enabled
for contradictions. [on Simon Harper - due 2009-04-23].
WAI-ARIA last call review http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/

<AllanJ> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2009AprJun/0020.html

KP: many standards - will it jump to individual characters or as a word? Big
mix of this - especially with speech I/F

KF: dragon doesn't just use keyboard emulation, uses active accessibility
to.

<AllanJ> s/to. /too

KF: basic c&c can get to the elements, then keyboard as final option.
... concern that ARIA doesn't create a false sense of how easy it will be to
use. More complicated structures induce and expectation of certain
characteristics - which may not be the case.
... hopefully we'll have web ARIA tools kits and add 'their' version of the
tree - expected behaviour is 'key' and not getting this behaviour may mean
we make more barriers

<AllanJ> KF: AT users have higher level of knowledge/expectations of
keyboard interaction with UI elements than ARIA can/may provide and may
confuse users

All: general ARIA conversation.

JA: Comments on the issue at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2009AprJun/0020.html should
be more formal

JS: will find correct way to do this - just need a more formal version -
will answer JA tomorrow - deadline for comments tomorrow.

KF: these will be our (the groups) comments on ARIA - anything else members
need to speak up ASAP

RESOLUTION: These are our (the groups) comments on ARIA - and will be sent
formally ASAP

<AllanJ> SH: two items: web applications, and personalization and UA
implementation

JA: Items for next week - We have been doing yeoman's work on the glossary.
While the glossary

> is important, it is time (beginning next week) to review the open action

> items related to video and alternative content.

JS: UBIWeb Notes mentioned in WAI group - team would like us to comment so
they can hear them.
