Intent:
Stylesheets provide for powerful customization of rendered content.
>From time to time a user may need to make only slight modifications to
the stylesheets used on a web site to satisfy certain accessibility
needs. At other times a web author may have created a stylesheet that
a user with a disability finds helpful. The intent of this success
criteria is to allow users to easily save the...
scribe: CSS for a web site and make needed modifications without
having to create full stylesheet of their own and to apply well
designed stylesheets to other web pages where they find the
stylesheets helpful.
<mhakkinen> question: where it says save the CSS, is that implying
inline CSS also? Should it just be the extrernal style sheet?
<kford> I believe it is just the external.
<kford> That is external CSS.
<kford> This would only be external and not that inline or in the head.
Intent: Stylesheets provide for powerful customization of rendered
content. From time to time a user may need to make only slight
modifications to the author supplied external stylesheets used on a
web site to satisfy certain accessibility needs. At other times a web
author may have created a stylesheet that a user with a disability
finds helpful. The intent of this success criteria is to...

headlines are created with a CSS stylesheet. The two save this
stylesheet and study how it is created. Mikki is then able...

<Jan> Intent of Success Criterion 1.8.6:
<Jan> Some users want to be able to magnify content to make it more
legible. Some users want to be able to shrink content so that more of
the content is visible onscreen, which can help them understand the
structure of the content and their position in the content, even if
text has become too small to read.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2012AprJun/0099.html
<Jan> Examples of Success Criterion 1.8.6:
<Jan> - A web application uses small text fonts, mixed with graphical
elements. The user tries increasing the text size alone, but the
graphical elements remain at their original sizes, causing the
application to be displayed improperly. Instead, the user zooms in on
the application, which makes the text more legible without breaking
other aspects of the presentation.
<Jan> - A viewport is used to display an image depicting an
organization chart. A user with a learning disability has difficulty
maintaining a mental representation of the organizational linkages for
items out of view. In order to facilitate their understanding of the
organization, the user zooms out to allow the entire chart to be
displayed.
gl: do we want to say anything about reflowing
... is there an implicit assumption that text reflowing
... just a question. should we say anything about reflow.

<greg> 2.1.7 Follow Keyboard Conventions (former 2.1.5): The user
agent follows keyboard conventions for the operating environment.
<greg> Intent:
<greg> Keyboard users rely on the user agent to provide keyboard
support that is both full-featured and consistent between
applications. When user agents follow platform conventions for
keyboard access it helps ensure that the functionality they rely on
are not accidentally omitted. In addition, making these inputs
consistent within and across programs greatly reduces learning curve,
cognitive...
<greg> ...load, and errors. User agents are encouraged to add keyboard
commands when such would provide additional features or benefit for
users, but should avoid omitting the standard commands, or assigning
them to different keys.
<greg> Examples:
<greg> Jack edits blog posts in his browser's text area control, and
can use the same keys for navigation and editing (e.g. arrow keys, as
well as commands to move to the beginning and end of the line or
content, cut, copy and paste) and formatting that he's used to using
in every other application on the platform.
<greg> Jack's user agent presents a custom tree control showing a
hierarchal outline view of the document headings. He can navigate
within that control using the same keys as work in the native tree
controls used in other applications (e.g. the up, down, left and right
arrow keys, as well as navigating directly to entries by typing the
beginning of their text).
<greg> Jack puts his browser into a caret browsing mode, in which he
can move the text cursor through the text on the page. The browser
supports the same keys for navigation and editing (e.g. arrow keys, as
well as commands to move to the beginning and end of the line or
content, and for copying) as are used in other applications.
<jeanne> Jack's user agent's custom tree control shows a hierarchal
outline view of the document headings. He can navigate within that
control using the same keys as work in the native tree controls used
in other applications (e.g. the up, down, left and right arrow keys,
as well as navigating directly to entries by typing the beginning of
their text).

<Admin> 2.5.6 Navigate by Structural Element
<Admin> The user agent provides at least the following types of
structural navigation, where the structure types exist: (a) by header
(b) within tables.
<Admin> Intent of Success Criterion 2.5.6
<Admin> Users who find it difficult or impossible to use the mouse
require an efficient way to jump among elements without having to
navigate through intervening content. Navigating by heading is
especially important when scanning a webpage to find a pertinent
section. Navigating by table element is especially important when
building or reading tables.
<Admin> Examples of Success Criterion 2.5.5 :
<Admin> Jamie is blind. When he reads the New York Times he scans the
headlines to find interesting story. In order to do this needs a way
to go from headline to headline.
<Admin> Billie is a paraplegic who uses speech. She writes long legal
documents. When she is proofing a document she needs to scan each
section header. it takes far fewer speech commands to navigate the
section headers when she can jump directly to them. Billie also makes
extensive use of tables. It takes far fewer speech commands to
navigate tables when she can jump directly among elements. Direct...
2.5.6 navigation
<Admin> ...navigation to headlines and table elements allows her to do
her job without overusing her vocal cords and within required time
constraints.
<Admin> Celia she finds it difficult to have short-term memory issues
and is easily distracted. When looking for any particular section of
the document she finds it easier to scan through headings by jumping
from heading to heading rather than having to scan through an entire
page of potentially distracting text.
gl: need different example for within table navigation
<greg> No, need an example of hierarchical navigation, as opposed to
just sequential navigation among headings.
<jeanne> Celia has short-term memory issues and is easily distracted.
When looking for any particular section of the document she finds it
easier to scan through headings by jumping from heading to heading
rather than having to scan through an entire page of potentially
distracting text. Celia also finds it useful to be able to move from a
subheading to a major heading to orient herself within the context
without becoming confused.

gl: add note: UA encouraged to go beyond...
<jeanne> Some users have a disability that prevents them from setting
up the user agent to their requirements when it is first installed or

before entering the user agent. There are multiple ways this can be
accomplished including: detecting and implementing the platform
accessibility settings, providing an external file to modify, access

Examples of Success Criterion 2.7.6 :
Sasha requires high contrast to be able to discriminate the shape of
letters. She has set the accessibility preferences on her mobile phone
to use the high contrast mode. When she launches her mobile browser for
the first time, it detects that she is using high contrast and presents
the opening page to her in high contrast mode.
Justin has low vision and an attention deficit disorder. He is setting
up his new e-book reader and is interrupted while setting the default
font colors. He accidentally sets his background and font color to
white on white and cannot read the settings screen to recover his
default settings. Justin exits the reader and follows the instructions
on the reader vendor web site to edit the "settings.ini" file to adjust
the colors outside the program, so he can use the reader the way he needs.
Aosa is blind and uses the accessibility settings on his mobile phone.
Because he has accidentally removed his settings in the past, he has now
set the hard button on his phone to restore his settings.
Bintu is deaf and enjoys watching captioned videos. Since different
video players may not have accessible settings, she sets her browser to
always display captions, and hopes that the video player does not
override the browser settings.
kf: first example, Sasha is good but not an example of this SC
... this SC is asking for a way for me to turn on caret browsing
before I open the browser
jr: agree with kelly, asking for the ability for the user to change
every setting related to UAAG seems like a big task
kf: responding to system settings is not a UA setting.
js: review other examples. if they are OK can remove the high contrast example.
2.4.1 again
Intent of Success Criterion 2.4.1 :
Local find in a user agent allows the user to easily locate desired
information in rendered content. The ability to search for alternative
text content allows screen reader users to find content they heard on
their speaker. Users with hearing impairment use find as an efficient
method of jumping to specific points in a video.
examples:
Marvin has a dexterity impairment. He needs to move efficiently to
specific text in the document. The user agent provides a local search
function that is available using speech commands. Marvin says "find,"
a text box with a search button appears. He spells the word he is
looking for, and says "enter", which executes the search function.
Betty, who is low vision, is attempting to create a user stylesheet
for site. She need to know the 'class' attribute value for navigation
headers. Betty gets the source view of the current page and searches
for the specific phrase used in a navigation list to find the class
associated with the navigation list.
Joe, a user with a distraction disorder, is taking an online exam. He
is working on the 6th question when he realizes he wrote something
wrong in the essay on question 2. He uses the local search in the
browser to find the text in error inside the textarea of question 2.
Sam, is a screen reader user. He has images off and the alternative
content for images is revealed. He wants to send the flow chart image
on the page to a collegue. Sam searches for the word "flowchart" that
he heard spoken as part of the 'alt' text for the image. He then uses
the context menu to select the address of the image and sends it to a
colleague.
Agnes is deaf. She is watching a video with captions turned on. Agnes
uses the search function to seach through the captions and jump to the
point in the video where the search term is located in the time line.
Greta, has a reading impairment. She is trying efficient locate some
information in a large detailed graphic. She is using a browser with
native support for SVG. Greta searches for a term and the SVG is
searched along with html content.

for the specific phrase used in a navigation list to find the class
associated with the navigation list.

jr: the sc does not say anything about searching in a source view.

Joe, a user with a distraction disorder, is taking an online exam. He
is working on the 6th question when he realizes he wrote something
wrong in the essay on question 2. He uses the local search in the
browser to find the text in error inside the textarea of question 2.
ja: there is 'local' search, remove it
Sam, is a screen reader user. He has images off and the alternative
content for images is revealed. He wants to send the flow chart image
on the page to a collegue. Sam searches for the word "flowchart" that
he heard spoken as part of the 'alt' text for the image. He then uses
the context menu to select the address of the image and sends it to a
colleague.
Agnes is deaf. She is watching a video with captions turned on. Agnes
uses the search function to seach through the captions and jump to the
point in the video where the search term is located in the time line.
Greta, has a reading impairment. She is trying efficient locate some
information in a large detailed graphic. She is using a browser with
native support for SVG. Greta searches for a term and the SVG is
searched along with html content.
in IE 9 the text in the SVG that had text was highlighted.
<mhakkinen> ok
Greta, has a reading impairment. She is trying to efficiently locate
some information in a large, detailed graphic. She is using a browser
with native support for SVG. Greta searches for a term and the text
within SVG is searched along with html content.
in FF the point of regard is moved to the text in the SVG but it is
not highlighted in any way
we don't have any examples of SVG with alt text to see what happens with search.
we tested in FF and IE turned images off, but SVG remained on the screen
<mhakkinen> in chrome, the text is found but not highlighted
same as FF
<mhakkinen> probably Safari, then, too.
they would both fail the other SC relating to highlighting found search terms
discussion of the Summary of GL2
resolved: add above examples to the IER of 2.4.1
kf: 2.4.3 this needs some work
<mhakkinen> fyi... safari highlights and positions. cool effect.
awesome.
<mhakkinen> yes.
kf: 2.4.5 is confusing, need rewriting, parts are redundant to 2.4.1,
This is only place where search by case is mentioned

<Admin> 1.8.Y: Reflowing Zoom: The user can request that when
reflowable content in a graphical viewport is rescaled, it is reflowed
such that one dimension of the content fits within the height or width
of the viewport. (Level AA) ## DONE 26 April - need IER
<Admin> Note: User agents are encouraged to allow user to override
author instructions to not wrap content (e.g., nowrap).
<Admin> Intent for 1.8.1:
<Admin> It’s important that when content is reflowed it remains easily
usable. Content is not easily usable if the user has to scroll back
and forth to see a single line of text. This is an especially acute
issue for users who find it difficult or impossible to use the mouse
to scroll and for users who find it difficult to reorient when the
content changes.
<Admin> Examples for 1.8.1:
<Admin> Frank has repetitive strain injuries and uses speech input. As
he's gotten older he sometimes needs to increase the font size to
comfortably read text on his computer screen. If the text does not
flow properly, he finds himself overusing his voice to carry out
multiple speech commands to carry out scrolling commands for every
line of text, exacerbating his repetitive strain injuries by using...
<Admin> ...the mouse, or simply giving up.
<Admin> Maggie has cognitive issues that make it difficult for her to
reorient when the computer screen changes. She occasionally zooms in
to read small text. She finds it easier to reorient after zooming when
at least one dimension of the content fits within the height or width
of the viewport.

editorial review of 1.8.y
gl: by stating that the user can request in 1.8.y, are we implying
that reflowing can be turned off
... review wording....is it saying, always, available, or ??? (neither
require nor prohibit the reflowing of content

2.7.6 change preference settings outside UAUI
<greg> Intent for 2.7.6: Users with a disability may find that they
cannot use a user agent with its current preference settings. This can
occur when they are initially setting up the product and its default
settings don't meet their needs, or after they, or another product or
user, change an option from the setting they need. In these cases they
may not be able to user the user agent's own user...
<greg> ...interface to adjust the settings, and so need a way to
adjust or reset those options from outside the user agent. There are
multiple ways this can be accomplished including: detecting and
implementing the platform accessibility settings, providing an
external file to modify, access to settings from a separate utility
program, providing accessibility options in the installation program,
or...
<greg> ...providing command-line switches to change the user agent's behavior.

<greg> Aosa is blind, and her web browser is incompatible with her
screen reader unless she changes one of the browser's advanced
settings. Because she cannot activate and use the appropriate dialog
box until the setting is changed, she needs to start the browser using
a dedicated command-line switch that changes the behavior.
<greg> Bintu is deaf and enjoys watching captioned videos. Since
different video players may not have accessible settings, she sets her
browser to always display captions, and hopes that the video player
does not override the browser settings. In this way the options in one
user agent (the embedded video player) are set outside its user
interface by being set in another program (the hosting browser).

<greg> Sasha requires high contrast to be able to discriminate the
shape of letters. She has set the accessibility preferences on her
mobile phone to use the high contrast mode. When she launches her
mobile browser, it detects that she is using high contrast and adjusts
the font and color settings for its user interface to reflect those
settings.
<greg> Justin has an attention deficit disorder. He is setting up his
new e-book reader and is interrupted while setting the default font
colors, then finds he accidentally sets his background and font color
to white on white. He cannot read the settings screen to recover his
default settings, so he exits the reader and follows the instructions
on the vendor's web site to edit the "settings.ini"...
<greg> ...file to adjust the colors. He then restarts the reader with
the corrected color settings.

gl: intent does not match the sc wording
all the preferences that apply to the compatible system will be transferred.
<greg> "The user can transfer preference settings" is vague enough
that a UA could comply by transferring only two settings.
<greg> We could make it (a) all preference settings that are
compatible with the target system, or (b) all accessibility preference
settings that are compatible with the target system ("accessibility
settings" being defined as those required to comply with this
document.
<greg> Someone argued that since it's AAA we might as well make it broad.
<greg> Kelly points out support difficulties.
kf: IE manage addons, if I turn off yahoo toolbar, transfer settings.
then 3 months later the user installs the toolbar it will be turned
off after installation.
... this will cause users issues
... this is architected this way.
... is this is some setting or all settings
gl: suggested that it is AAA and go with all settings
<greg> "The user can transfer all compatible preference settings
between computers. (Level AAA)"?
kp: in perfect world when the user install the toolbar, it should be
flagged and tell the user...you have this feature disabled, do you
want to turn it on
<greg> Kelly says should be UA settings.
<greg> ""The user can transfer all compatible user agent preference
settings between computers. (Level AAA)"
resolved: change wording of 2.7.7 to be the above.

Intent: Configuring a user agent is a complex...
<jeanne> Configuring a user agent may be a complex and time consuming
task. Some users hire assistive technology professional trainers to do
their system setup. Users who have spent time customizing
accessibility preferences to meet their requirements need to easily
migrate preference setting to another compatible device. Schools and
universities also need to maintain accessibility settings across
multiple machines.
