MH, HS, KP: to explain the 4.7 proposal
17:16:35 [AllanJ]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2009JulSep/0023.html
17:17:15 [sharper]
MH: 4.7 to encompass direct nav and structured nav, re last weeks discussion of KP proposal
17:17:26 [sharper]
Guideline 4.7 Provide structured and direct navigation
17:17:33 [sharper]
4.7.1 Structured Navigation: Forward and backward sequential navigation over important (structural and operable) elements in rendered content is provided. (Level A)
17:17:41 [sharper]
4.7.2 Direct navigation: direct movement to important (structural and operable) elements in rendered content is provided. (Level A).
17:17:48 [sharper]
4.7.3 Direct activation: direct movement to and activation of any operable elements in rendered content is provided. (Level AA)
17:18:27 [sharper]
4.7.4 Configure Set of Important Elements: The user has the option to configure the set of important elements for structured navigation, including by element type (e.g., headers, list items, images). (Level AAA) @@Editor's note: Review the definition of "important elements" @@
17:18:44 [sharper]
4.7.5 Direct navigation and activation keystrokes are discoverable both programmatically and via perceivable labels. (Level A)
17:19:09 [sharper]
Background and Discussion at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2009JulSep/0023.html
17:20:43 [sharper]
JA: How does this lay over on top of 4.1 is there any duplication?
17:21:23 [sharper]
MH: 4.1.7 - has some relationship to this - complimentary.
17:21:27 [KFord]
q+
17:22:03 [sharper]
GL: wording etc questions
17:22:27 [sharper]
JA: Lets stop at 15 to the hour so we can get into the HTML5
17:22:35 [sharper]
ack KFord
17:23:34 [sharper]
KF: 4.7.3, seems like it also contains the first part of 4.7.2 - both say direct navigation, 4.7.3 with activation.
17:24:16 [sharper]
MH: distinction is directly nav to an active element - 4.7.3 specifically activation so nav and activate are combined in 1 key press.
17:24:47 [sharper]
KF: get the concept, do we need this twice, is it confusing - question for the group
17:26:12 [sharper]
GL: looks like 4.7.3 as written doesn't add anything, because direct commands include a key seq. a UA can comply - no different than defining say ctrl+a and Enter.
17:27:12 [sharper]
MH: difference is that numbers maybe a multi key sequence that would directly activate the element.
17:27:29 [sharper]
GL: don't disagree, but don't think this brings anything.
17:27:44 [sharper]
KP: I think this would work...
17:28:27 [sharper]
GL: nowhere do we already prohibit that kind of thing. dfn. of keyboard commands - maybe overlooks delay between strokes.
17:29:42 [sharper]
KP: from a keyboard point of view fewer are better, problem when you can't put strokes together.
17:29:46 [sharper]
JA: Example?
17:31:07 [Greg]
I suggest we make sure the definition of keyboard command is explicit that there can be no enforced wait in the middle of any sequence, and no having to read.
17:31:16 [sharper]
KP: Firefox, type number and hit enter (or not - config). If there is a wait for a keystroke sequence to resolve (say dialogue) then how do you know if there are more strokes coming to activate something else?
17:32:28 [sharper]
GL: address this by making sure dfn in glossary includes wording that there can be no enforced wait in the middle.
17:34:42 [sharper]
GL: one shouldn't need to get feedback in the middle of the stroke sequence - ie can do alt+F,O, so no wait is required but the sequence type ahead is enacted
17:36:14 [Greg]
If the platform doesn't provide typeahead, I would not expect the UA to add it. (If you want an accessible UA, run one on an accessible OS.)
17:36:39 [sharper]
JA: 4.1.4 is separate activation from action
17:36:41 [Greg]
But if the platform supports typeahead, the UA should support it.
17:37:49 [sharper]
GL: 4.7.3, not required, but included in the best practices
17:39:56 [Greg]
Proposal to remove 4.7.3 as separate SC, instead incorporate it into the best practices as a recommendation that the UA allow the user to avoid having to enter an extra keystroke to activate the element they are navigating to.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-UAAG20-20090723/#def-configure
17:42:29 [Greg]
We need to clarify, does "the user has an option to" also require that the use has the option not to?
17:44:28 [Greg]
For example, if we say "the user has the option to be able to navigate via the keyboard", we wouldn't want that to imply that the user MUST have an option to disable keyboard navigation.
17:46:18 [sharper]
ISSUE: Review "the user has the option to be able to navigate via the keyboard"
17:46:18 [trackbot]
Created ISSUE-38 - Review "the user has the option to be able to navigate via the keyboard" ; please complete additional details at http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/issues/38/edit .
17:46:37 [Greg]
In 4.7.1, 1."over" - sounds like skipping over, so change to "through" or "between"
17:47:03 [sharper]
GL: 4.7.1 use of word 'over'; to GL means skip
17:47:09 [sharper]
KP switch over to 'to'
17:47:23 [Zakim]
- +1.617.435.aaaa
17:47:50 [sharper]
RESOLVED: switch over to 'to'
17:48:04 [Greg]
4.7 use of "important" makes it not subjective rather than objectively measurable.

17:51:21 [Greg]
Is there any example where it's OK for the UA to not provide keyboard navigation to an enabled element?
17:51:46 [Greg]
3."structural and" can you provide examples where you want to navigate to structural elements that aren't interactive? Would it be something like using tab to navigate to a group of radio buttons, and the focus is put on whichever radio button in that group last had the focus.
17:52:03 [Greg]
4."operable" - we already have the terms "enabled" and "interactive"
17:52:03 [sharper]
JA: we need to take this to the list and thrash it out some more.

JA: Problems around provision of bespoke accessibility apis.

18:05:03 [sharper]
