Review/Resolve outstanding issues

<jeanne> JA: Principle 1 is complete

<jeanne> ... Principle 5 is complete

<jeanne> ... need a summary for 4.2

<jeanne> ... 4.2.1 and 4.2.2need intent. (already have examples)

http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2011/ED-UAAG20-20110819

<kford> Possible Summary for 2.2:

<kford> That's 4.2.

<kford> Input focus correctly transitions between nested user agents
(4.2.1), the user can determine input focus at any time (4.2.2) and
input focus never gets stuck in any nested user agent (4.2.3).

<kford> Possible summaries for 4.2 and 2.7:

<kford> 4.2

<kford> Input focus correctly transitions between nested user agents
(4.2.1), the user can determine input focus at any time (4.2.2) and
input focus never gets stuck in any nested user agent (4.2.3).

<kford> 2.7

<kford> The user can customize user agent settings related to
accessibility (2.7.1) with settings changes being saved between
sessions (2.7.2) and restore settings to default values (2.7.3). Users
can have multiple sets of preferences (2.7.4), have related settings
restored to default as a group (2.7.5) and adjust preferences outside
the user agent main user interface (2.7.6). Users can also...

<kford> ...transfer settings between devices (2.7.7) and are offered a
wizard to assist in user customization (2.7.8).

possible summaries for 3.1-3.4

3.1 Users can turn off non-essential messaes from the author or user-agent.

3.2 Users can choose to confirm form submissions.

3.3 User documentation is available in an accessible format (3.3.1),
it includes accessbilbity features (3.3.2), delineates differences
between versions (3.3.3), provides a centralized views of the browser
meets UAAG2.0 (3.3.4), and is available as context sensitive help in
the UA (3.3.5).

3.4 Moving the focus allow presentation of information (e.g. tooltips)
but does not cause any other action (3.4.2). Users can prevent
non-requested focus changes (3.4.1).
proposed Summary for 2.1

<jeanne> Guideline 2.1 - Ensure full keyboard access.

<jeanne> Users have many ways to input information into a computer or
device, including mouse, keyboard, gesture, and speech. The keyboard
paradigm is the most universal interface for text input - even devices
that do have a keyboard (like mobile phones) support a software
interface for them. All functions can be operated only using a
keyboard (2.1.1), the focus can be moved by the keyboard (2.1.2,
2.1.3),

<jeanne> important or commonly used features of the web page or
application should have shortcut keys for direct navigation (2.1.8).
and the user can override keyboard shortcuts and user interface
controls (2.1.4). Users should have a mechanism to escape keyboard
traps such as embedded objects that do not return focus to the main
web page (2.1.5). Users can set a preference that selecting an item in
a

<jeanne> dropdown list or menu, does not activate that item or move to
that new web page (2.1.6). Text entry should use the standard keys for
that platform (2.1.7).
Proposed Summary for 2.2

<jeanne> Guideline 2.2 - Provide sequential navigation

<jeanne> Users need to be able to move through all the enabled content
in the web page in a logical sequential fashion (2.2.1 and 2.2.2).
Unless the author specifies a different navigation order, the default
is the document order (2.2.3). Users can prevent or request
notification when wrapping to the start of the page, to prevent
unwanted repetition (2.2.4).

<KimPatch> 2.1.2 Keyboard Focus (former 1.9.1):

<KimPatch> Every viewport has an active or inactive keyboard focus at
all times. (Level A)

<KimPatch> 2.1.3 Viewport Navigation (former 1.9.2 & 1.9.4):

<KimPatch> The user can move the active keyboard focus to any
viewport. (Level A)

<KimPatch> 2.2.1 Sequential Navigation Between Elements [replaces
1.9.8 Bi-Directional and 2.1.8 Keyboard Navigation]

<KimPatch> The user can move the keyboard focus backwards and forwards
through all recognized enabled elements in the current viewport.
(Level A)

<KimPatch> 2.2.2 Sequential Navigation Between Viewports [NEW]:

<KimPatch> The user can move the keyboard focus backwards and forwards
between viewports, without having to sequentially navigate all the
elements in a viewport. (Level A)

<sharper_> Users can discover the keys which facilitate direct
navigation and activation (2.5.1), view their location in the
structural hierarchy (2.5.3), along with the relationships within that
hierarchy (2.5.5), and specify the elements (2.5.7+1.10.3) important
to building and navigate different hierarchical views (1.10.2).
summary 4.2 Input focus correctly transitions between nested user
agents (4.2.1), the user can determine input focus at any time (4.2.2)
and input focus never gets stuck in any nested user agent (4.2.3).

summary 4.2 Input focus correctly transitions between nested user

2.7.5 summary

The user can customize user agent settings related to accessibility
(2.7.1) with settings changes being saved between sessions (2.7.2) and

summary for GL 3.1 -3.4

3.1 Users can turn off non-essential messaes from the author or user-agent.

3.2 Users can choose to confirm form submissions.

3.3 User documentation is available in an accessible format (3.3.1),

but does not cause any other action (3.4.2). Users can prevent

gl: what about an SC requiring spell checking for folks with reading
or writing disabilities.

all agree.

Proposed Summary for 2.2

Guideline 2.2 - Provide sequential navigation

Users need to be able to move through all the enabled content in the
web page in a logical sequential fashion (2.2.1 and 2.2.2). Unless the
author specifies a different navigation order, the default is the
document order (2.2.3). Users can prevent or request notification when
wrapping to the start of the page, to prevent unwanted repetition
(2.2.4).

<scribe> scribe: jallan

kf: first couple of sentences read more like an intent.

JS: move first 2 sentences to intent of 2.1.1

<Greg> "important or commonly used features should have shortcut keys
for direct navigation (2.1.8)"

<KimPatch> Users can operate all functions (2.1.1), and can move focus
(2.1.2, 2.1.3) using just the keyboard.

gl: but need to distinguish between 212 and 213

Users can override author keyboard shortcuts and user interface controls (2.1.4)

can override keyboard shortcuts and user interface keyboard controls (2.1.4)

Users can escape keyboard traps such as embedded objects that do not
return focus to the main web page (2.1.5).

<Greg> "Users can override keyboard shortcuts in content and the user
agent's user interface (2.1.4)"

<KimPatch> Users can operate all functions (2.1.1), and move focus
(2.1.2, 2.1.3) using just the keyboard. Users can activate important
or common features with shortcut keys, (2.1.8), override keyboard
shortcuts and user interface controls (2.1.4), escape keyboard traps
(2.1.5), specify that selecting an item in a dropdown list or menuoes
not activate that item or move to that new web page (2.1.6),...

<KimPatch> ...and use standard keys for that platform (2.1.7).

<sharper_> Users can discover the keys which facilitate direct
navigation and activation (2.5.1), view their current location in the
structural hierarchy (2.5.3) as well as the relationships within that
hierarchy (2.5.5), and specify the elements (2.5.7+1.10.3) important
to building and navigating different hierarchical views (1.10.2).
Simon's proposal for 2.5

<KimPatch> Users can operate all functions (2.1.1), and move focus
(2.1.2, 2.1.3) using just the keyboard. Users can activate important
or common features with shortcut keys, (2.1.8), override content and
interface keyboard shortcuts (2.1.4), escape keyboard traps (2.1.5),
specify that selecting an item in a dropdown list or menuoes not
activate that item or move to that new web page (2.1.6) and use...

<KimPatch> ...standard keys for that platform (2.1.7).

need lots of discussion about 1.10.2 1.10.3 and 2.5.7 and 2.5.4

<KimPatch> Users can operate all functions (2.1.1) and move focus
(2.1.2, 2.1.3) using just the keyboard. Users can activate important
or common features with shortcut keys (2.1.8), override content and
interface keyboard shortcuts (2.1.4), escape keyboard traps (2.1.5),
specify that selecting an item in a dropdown list or menu doesn't
activate or move item to that new web page (2.1.6). User can use...

<KimPatch> ...standard keys for text entry (2.1.7).

<Greg> "override keyboard shortcuts in content and user interface (2.1.4)"

<Greg> (Don't want it to read like "override content and override
interface keyboard shortcuts.)
