ACTION-980: (David) Define mappings for managed aria related states.

   JS: David was going to work on this. I heard from him, he
   cannot come to the meeting.

   <clown> action-980?

   <trackbot> action-980 -- David Bolter to Describe/define
   managed aria related states: aria-setsize, aria-posinset,
   aria-level, focused, focusable with reference to section 5.5
   bullet 1 of the UAIG. -- due 2015-01-27 -- OPEN

     [14] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/980

   JS: Anyone else want to discuss this?

   RS: I don't quite understand.
   ... Ok, it basically wants to say how the browser manages these
   states if they are missing.

   JS: The current text in the mapping guide is vague with respect
   to what happens if the states are absent.
   ... David volunteered to take this up.
   ... I periodically ping David; he's still working on it.
   ... It was raised, I believe, at a face-to-face meeting.
   ... David indicated he wants to come up with a list of managed
   states.
   ... I'll ping him again.
   ... We might still be able to get it in for 1.1.

ACTION-1104: (Cynthia) Define UIA mapping in section 5.5.1 when
element does not exist in accessibility tree.

   JS: Cynthia is not here (yet).

   <clown> action-1104?

   <trackbot> action-1104 -- Cynthia Shelly to Define what the
   accessibility API mapping is for UIA on aria-describedby in
   section 5.5.1 table when the element does not exist in the
   accessibility tree such as when css: display:none applies --
   due 2015-02-10 -- OPEN

   <trackbot>
   [15]https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1104

     [15] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1104

   JS: You can have an aria-describedby that has display:none on
   it.
   ... As far as UIA is concerned, this means the description
   doesn't exist.
   ... Other APIs allow you to expose the description text.
   ... I did see a number of emails about this about a month ago.
   ... I think Steve and Marco were encouraging them to use MSAA
   accDescription.
   ... But I believe Cynthia said they had some problems with
   that.

   RS: In the past, perhaps due to poor documentation, people were
   misusing this property.

   JS: Maybe what we need to do is fix the Microsoft
   documentation.

ISSUE-700/ACTION-1544/ACTION-1546: (Rich, Cynthia, David) Mapping of

     [19] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1546

   JS: This issue relates to action-1544 and action-1546.

   RS: Let me see if I can get Alex to join us.

     [21] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1546

   JS: David said last week that he wanted to talk to Alex about
   it.

   RS: I'm going to email Alex about it.

   le-map-rowgroup

     [23]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-rowgroup

   JS: (Reads from the above)
   ... MSAA and UIA Express expose the role as a property, which
   means there is an accessible there.
   ... IA2 exposes it as ROLE_SYSTEM_GROUP.

   RS: Actually, that's probably ok, right?

   JS: UIA exposes it as 'group'

   RS: Which also means nothing.

   JS: ATK and AXAPI do not map it. There is no accessible.
   ... I think the interoperability issue is if an accessible
   should be there at all.

   RS: (Finishes email to Alex and CCs David)

ISSUE-692/ACTION-1554: (Cynthia) Provide UIA mapping for

   for role="searchbox" -- due 2015-02-10 -- OPEN

     [27] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1554

   JS: I was asking for mappings for the new searchbox role.
   ... Cynthia has not yet been able to join us.
   ... We've got a mapping for ATK/AT-SPI2.

   JS: That's the only one so far.
   ... Cynthia, we're working on the mapping for role="searchbox"

   <clown> action-1554

   <trackbot> action-1554 -- Cynthia Shelly to Provide UIA mapping

   le-map-searchbox

     [30]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-searchbox

   CS: We would use the editabletext pattern and a localizable
   control type. So just like an input, but the string would say
   "search box".

   RS: So I guess for CR, we're only going to test for English
   mappings.

   CS: I'm updating the action now.

   JS: When you're done, assign it to me and I'll put in the
   mapping spec.

ISSUE-692/ACTION-1556: (David) Provide MSAA/IA2 mapping for
role="searchbox".

   JD: Was this added to the email Rich sent?

   JS: Nothing about searchbox or switch.
   ... The same thing (mapping for searchbox) is needed for
   MSAA/IA2.
   ... This is David's action.

ACTION-1564: (David) MSAA/IA2 mapping for role="switch".

   <clown>
   [31]http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#ro
   le-map-switch

     [31]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/core-aam/core-aam.html#role-map-switch

   JS: We have mappings for UIA and ATK/AT-SPI2. Not IA2 or AX
   API.

   JD: I need to do a patch for the ATK mappings in WebKit.
   ... When I do so, I'll have to deal with the mapping for AX
   API, so I may be able to get us mappings for that platform as
   well.
   ... In which case I'll update James' actions.

ACTION-1104: (Cynthia) Define UIA mapping in section 5.5.1 when
element does not exist in accessibility tree.

   <clown> action-1104?

   <trackbot> action-1104 -- Cynthia Shelly to Define what the

     [32] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1104

   JS: This is aria-describedby pointing to something with
   display:none.

   CS: We're still working on it.

   JS: I mentioned earlier that Steve Faulkner and Marco Zehe
   suggested accDescription.

   CS: That's gone now.
   ... We're talking about adding something like it.

   JS: So what do we want to do? Set the date further out?

   CS: March 15th.

ACTION-1564: (David) MSAA/IA2 mapping for role="switch".

ACTION-1569/ISSUE-540: (Jason) Section of Core-AAM for AAPI
differences.

     [33] https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1569

   JS: This is something Jason Kiss wanted to do.
   ... He did do it, but it's on a special branch.
   ... The email was sent here:

     [34]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/issue-540/core-aam/core-aam.html#comparing-accessibility-apis

   JS: He's basically copied a note I'd written about ATK versus
   AT-SPI. Then added content about names and descriptions.

   (Group reads)

   CS: With respect to 1.3.1 there's a lot of differences between
   how UIA and the other Accessibility APIs work.
   ... For example, patterns.
   ... You can give me an action to provide some of this
   information.
