F2F Recap

we rock, got lots done

js: need clean/done document by 9/12 for publishing

Resolution: No Changes after Sept 12.

js: reports from folks who did things

see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2013JulSep/0056.html

kp: spreadsheet
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2013JulSep/att-0054/SC_Stems_proposed_changes_from_20130829.xlsx

jr: +1 to kim, we are on the same page

discussion of Provide focus choice.

gl: too broad

js: doesn't match intent of SC

related to 1.8.10

jr: issue with global volume

these changes are not normative we can smith during last call

jr: global volume is 1.5.1

ja: take discussion to the list.

Resolution: Accept proposal for Stem reworking, exceptions noted.
discussion on list

<kford> Here is a review of P1.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2013JulSep/0057.html

kf: issue with 1.1.3 note

Note: At level A, the user agent can specify that an alternative content or
placeholder replace the non-text content. At level AA success criterion
1.1.3 requires that the user can specify one format or placeholder to be
used. At level AAA success criterion 1.1.5 requires that the user can
specify a cascade order of types of alternative content to be used.

jr: would be fine if we dropped this note, just meta information

js: might go in resources

jr: or in intent

Resolution: remove note in 1.1.3

kf: 1.2.1 issues

jr: there is an open action from f2f to reword

kf: screenreaders do what we want. if link image they show file name, don't
discourage that.

<jeanne> Master document for today's meeting <-
http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2013/ED-UAAG20-20130905/MasterUAAG20130905.html

jr: right, AT does right thing, don't want authoring tools etc doing the
wrong thing.

gl: cites mobile and vision issues for turning off images, if no alt, user
has no idea about where link goes...

ja: cites animated gif Link with no alt, browser should do something to
give info to user with no AT

kf: 1.9 source view -- many sources, not clear
... page source is different from rendered source
... generally it is the rendered source that is most important

js: put in intent. messing with the SC will take lots of time.

ja: +1 to intent

generated source vs original source

gl: inspecting tools give you generated source

<jeanne> I'm ok with clarifying it as a note

http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2013/ED-UAAG20-20130905/MasterUAAG20130905.html#glossary

eh: review of glossary
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2013JulSep/0059.html
... most editorial

kp: did a quick review looks ok

proposal:

text alternatives for non-text content: Text that is either (a)
programmatically associated with non-text content or (b) referred to by
such text. Sometimes both kinds of text alternatives occur together. For
example, an image of a chart might have two text alternatives – one of each
kind: (a) a short text description that is programmatically associated with
the chart (e.g., alt text) and (b) a description in...

scribe: the paragraph that is referred to by the short text description.”

<Jan> http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#alt-time-based-mediadef

eh: def of alternatives for time based media issue

jr: took def from ATAG

<Jan> http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#captionsdef

jr: we define alternatives for time based media more broadly than WCAG.

<Jan> http://www.w3.org/TR/ATAG20/#def-Alternative-Content

eh: ok with ATAG def. withdraw concern that it doesn't match WCAG

js: like proposal

jr: only programmatic text is machine readable

gl: started a proposal for this definition. in progress.
... either associated directly (alt, longdesc) or indirectly (labelledby,
describedby)

eh: may have misunderstood the intent
... wasn't clear that both direct and indirect are programmatically
available

<Jan> From WCAG: text alternative Text that is programmatically associated
with non-text content or referred to from text that is programmatically
associated with non-text content. Programmatically associated text is text
whose location can be programmatically determined from the non-text
content. Example: An image of a chart is described in text in the paragraph
after the chart. The short text...

<Jan> ...alternative for the chart indicates that a description follows.
Note: Refer to Understanding Text Alternatives for more information.

jr: WCAG does not assume machine readability, UAAG does (recognized)

eh: needs to be clearer.

<Jan> Importantly, from the perspective of authoring tools, alternative
content may or may not be:

<Jan> #def-Associated-Alternative-Contentprogrammatically associated:
Alternative content whose location and purpose can be programmatically
determined from the original content for which it is serving as an
alternative. For example, a paragraph might serve as a text alternative for
an image, but it is only programmatically associated if this relationship
is properly encoded (e.g., by...

<Jan> ..."aria-labeledby").

jr: this might make it more clear if we use above language (change referent
to user agent)
... this term must be things that are machine readable (programatically
associated)

<Jan> http://www.w3.org/TR/ATAG20/#def-Alternative-Content

Importantly, from the perspective of user agents, alternative content may
or may not be programmatically associated: Alternative content whose
location and purpose can be programmatically determined from the original
content for which it is serving as an alternative. For example, a paragraph
might serve as a text alternative for an image, but it is only
programmatically associated if this...

scribe: relationship is properly encoded (e.g., by."aria-describedby")

<Jan> text alternatives for non-text content: Text that is programmatically
associated with non-text content. For example, an image of a chart might
have two text alternatives: a description in the paragraph after the chart
and a short text alternative for the chart indicating in words that a
description follows.

ja: +1 to new def

gl: issues
... a description in para after chart...is not an alternative unless tagged.

jr: will add aria-describedby

<Jan> text alternatives for non-text content: Text that is programmatically
associated with non-text content....+ Greg's text.

<Greg> alternative content: this should include a category for text
alternatives for text content, such as is provided by HTML's ABBR
element.(ABBR is an example in Appendix E.)

gl: definition is too narrow. doesn't cover <abbr title=foo>

<Greg> "For example, an image of a chart might have two text alternatives:
a description in the paragraph after the chart, as long as the two are
linked by a method such as ARIA describedby, or..."

kp: need something different for examples or sub bulleted items in the
definitions
... bullets confusing (separating sub def from examples)
... seems to be an extra level of bullets in the implementing document,
would make it easier to read
