Capitalization (apply all uppercase or all lowercase styles, and override
upper case or small caps styles) ?
<Greg> Text in the document now:
<Greg> 1.4.6 Line Text Spacing, Capitalization and Hyphenation (Globally):
The user can globally set all of the following characteristics of visually
rendered blocks of text:(Level AAA)
<Greg> Line spacing between 0.7 and 3.0 times the font height, at
increments of 0.10
<Greg> Capitalization (overriding upper case and small caps style)
<Greg> Hyphenation
<Greg> Margins
<Greg> Borders
Note: This success criteria does not apply to text entered as ALL CAPS.
Content authors are encouraged to use styles instead of typing text as ALL
CAPS.
gl: not sure about Hypenation...
js: should be turning off automated hypenation
... not turning off author supplied hyphenation
gl: PDF may be an issue.
js: auto-hypenation for reflow vs author hypyhens in hyphenation
<Jan> http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-css-text-3-20131010/#word-break-property
js: auto-hyphenation in text reflow
<Greg> It wasn't clear to me whether it meant a mode where the user agent
didn't break even at soft hyphen characters (­).
change to 'word-breaking' (auto-hyphenation)
<jeanne> Word-breaking properties (auto-hyphenation)
Resolution: accept 1.4.6 as

q11 1.8.7
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20131001/results#xq13
<Greg> We have already changed the document to newer text than was in the
survey, so some responses are obsolete.
<Greg> Discussion of whether this should apply to all viewports, or just
top-level viewports.
<Greg> Agreed to change to "top-level viewports".
gl: need to change IER
jr: leave unstated as to a global setting or specific viewports...leave it
to the developer
<Greg> Greg: We can leave it unstated, thus by default user agent can
implement as per-viewport or global option. We can clarify that in IER e.g.
by having examples of both implementations.
proposed:
1.8.7 Reflow Text : The user can specify that text content in a graphical
top-level viewport reflows so the text forms a single column that fits
within the width of the viewport. (Level A)
Note 1: Reflow applies to rescaled or zoomed text.
Note 2: For vertical layout languages, text should fit within the height of
the viewport to reduce vertical scrolling.
<Greg> From my mail last night: 8. Similarly, 1.8.7 (Reflow Text) Note 2
also could be taken as adding a requirement rather than replacing one. It
might be less ambiguous if changed to something like "For vertical layout
languages, text should fit within the height of the viewport, rather than
its width, to reduce vertical scrolling."
jr: most vertical language texts have switched to horizontal layout for
technology. vertical layout on screen is more of an edge case
<Greg> "Vertical layout text should fit within the height of the viewport,
rather than its width, to reduce vertical scrolling."
jr: css flow direction
... css uses vertical text
js: vertical text means something else in common usage
... talked to i18n group about vertical text.
... should keep it in but put in note
jr: leave it in.
<Jan> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes/#intro-text-layout
<Greg> Or maybe "Vertical layout text (e.g. Mongolian, traditional Chinese)
should fit within the height of the viewport, rather than its width, to
reduce vertical scrolling."
For vertical layout languages (e.g. Mongolian, Han) text should fit within
the height of the viewport, rather than its width, to reduce vertical
scrolling.
1.8.7 Reflow Text : The user can specify that text content in a graphical
top-level viewport reflows so the text forms a single column that fits
within the width of the viewport. (Level A)
Note 1: Reflow applies to rescaled or zoomed text.
Note 2: For vertical layout languages (e.g. Mongolian, Han) text should fit
within the height of the viewport, rather than its width, to reduce
vertical scrolling.
<Greg> I am a bit worried about cases where the author specifies vertical
layout for a horizontal-layout language (e.g. theatre marquis); in that
case ideally the user agent option to reduce scrolling should reflow as if
it were a vertical language. However, this is a minor edge case.
<Greg> Per my email of last night, the Note could be misinterpreted as
saying it applies only to rescaled or zoomed text, so it might be clearer
as "Reflow applies even to rescaled or zoomed text", or "Reflow applies
even when text is rescaled or zoomed."
<Greg> Agreement to adopt "Reflow applies even when text is rescaled or
zoomed."

(level a) [on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2013-10-24].
Note 1: Reflow applies even when text is rescaled or zoomed.
Note 2: For vertical layout languages (e.g. Mongolian, Han) text should fit

note 1 could be in the summary.

js: likes suggestion to make a definition
gl: definition of 'set'

Characteristics" that might be able to bundle the proposed Guideline 1.4
notes [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/10/17-ua-minutes.html#action04]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-911 - Propose a definition of "text
customization, set text characteristics" that might be able to bundle the
proposed guideline 1.4 notes [on Jan Richards - due 2013-10-24].
Q2 1.4.1, 1.4.2 Text Scale
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20131016/results#xq3
gl: I find the concept of "font size" to be confusing in this guideline, as
to when it means a specific size (e.g. 16 pt), when it means a factor
applied to some base size (e.g. "large" and "larger" in CSS), and how these
relate to a zoom or scaling factor applied to a viewport (e.g. a command to
double the size of all on-screen rendering without affecting the size
properties of the...
... elements). For example, do we feel a global zoom feature should satisfy
the first bullet of 1.4.1? If not, can that interpretation be justified by
the current wording?
... current UA can't set zoom for all pages. so that's not global
js: ok with scale instead of size
gl: 1.4.2 take precedence over 1.4.1
add "Note: characteristics set for individual text elements types (1.4.2)
should override settings affecting all text content (1.4.1)."
"installed fonts"
1.4.1 Text Scale, Color, Font (Globally): The user can globally set all of
the following characteristics of visually rendered text content: (Level A)
* Text scale with preserved size distinctions (e.g. keeping headings
proportional to main font)
* Text color and background color, choosing from all platform color options
* Font family, choosing from all installed fonts
1.4.2 Text Scale, Color and Font (by Element): The user can set all of the
following characteristics of visually rendered text content for text
element types including at least headings and input fields:(Level AA)
* Text Scale
* Text color and background color, choosing from all platform color options
* Font family, choosing from all installed fonts
Note: characteristics set for individual text elements types (1.4.2) should
override settings affecting all text content (1.4.1).
1.4.2 Text Size, Color and Font (by Element): The user can set all of the
following characteristics of visually rendered text content for text
element types including at least headings and input fields:(Level AA)
