18:19:12 [MichaelC]
so no changes made since our last meeting
18:22:39 [MichaelC]

18:22:58 [MichaelC]
jb: this is a reconsideration request
18:23:49 [Judy]
s/jb/js/
18:24:08 [Judy]
jb: not annotated with the right response deadline date in http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Accessibility_Change_Proposal_Status
18:24:30 [MichaelC]
mc; don't see that in the timeline
18:25:32 [MichaelC]

18:28:42 [MichaelC]
jb: so we need an updated change proposal by this Saturday (11 Feb)
18:28:56 [MichaelC]
js: not clear it applies
18:29:55 [MichaelC]
this is reopen, not escalation process
18:30:58 [MichaelC]
mc: Feb 11 is deadline for all issues
18:32:26 [MichaelC]

18:36:24 [MichaelC]
even if further edits to be made before Saturday
18:36:54 [Judy]

18:38:27 [MichaelC]
^ Change proposal on location of alt from Michael
18:38:48 [janina]
scribe: janina
18:39:21 [janina]
michael: mostly a rationale, still unsure of what and how best to say

18:43:25 [MichaelC]
scribe: MichaelC
18:43:46 [MichaelC]
js: expect chairs will see lots of assertions but no evidence
18:43:55 [MichaelC]
mc: yes, exactly my worry, I've been struggling with this issue
18:46:20 [Stevef]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jun/0315.html
18:47:29 [MichaelC]
jb: summary should be a little more detailed
18:47:45 [MichaelC]
to include synopsis of rationale
18:48:00 [MichaelC]
js: also note this is a request to reconsider decision on ISSUE-31
18:48:11 [MichaelC]
s/ISSUE-31/HTML-ISSUE-31/
18:48:43 [MichaelC]
jb: also break down into specific points
18:50:36 [MichaelC]
sf: unsure of priority of moving this doc
18:53:32 [MichaelC]
mc: think importance of that is related to the proposal to change the version embedded in HTML spec to point to the external version
18:53:53 [MichaelC]
if the embedded version is removed, we may be less concerned about who owns the version pointed to instead
18:54:16 [MichaelC]
but if it's retained in HTML, it may be more important for WCAG to have an accessibility-authoritative alternate version
18:55:34 [MichaelC]
sf: really location of doc isn't our primary issue, it's the (normative) problematic guidance within the HTML spec
18:57:44 [MichaelC]
we want to move non-lexical guidance out and keep lexical guidance in the spec
18:58:21 [MichaelC]
mc: the spec currently defines as lexical requirements stuff we think should not be considered as lexical
18:58:43 [MichaelC]
so hard to argue about moving non-lexical stuff because as cast it's currently arguably lexical
18:58:50 [MichaelC]
dmd: <missed>
19:02:32 [MichaelC]
s/<missed>/there are blog entries criticizing html5, for it's 20 page alternative text document, so I encourage its move to WCAG/
19:03:07 [MichaelC]
js: seems there is a strong desire to keep this in HTML
19:03:17 [MichaelC]
(outside of a11y community)
19:05:05 [MichaelC]
mc: in part the chairs have encouraged competing versions of the same requirements (in various cases) with goal that market forces will pick a winner
19:05:18 [MichaelC]
perhaps they want to retain in HTML so that process can continue
19:05:53 [MichaelC]
jb: but don't think that will work for us
19:06:04 [MichaelC]
think we still need to move it
19:06:13 [MichaelC]
but current draft change proposal not there yet
19:10:08 [MichaelC]
jb: add that HTML spec has incorrect and overly detailed info on text alternatives
19:10:53 [MichaelC]
mc: that's a "says who" situation
19:11:11 [MichaelC]
jb: point to bugs, which are filed by recognized authorities
19:12:57 [Judy]
s/recognized authorities/people with recognized expertise on accessibility
19:13:27 [MichaelC]
mc: what about critiques in the chair decision on HTML-ISSUE-31?
19:13:50 [MichaelC]
e.g., there were statements that "X is unsubstantiated" but don't know where to begin to find details they will accept
19:13:59 [MichaelC]
sf: this is a reopen request, so we have to address the issues raised
19:14:06 [MichaelC]
in the chair decision
19:14:56 [MichaelC]
js: responding on the terms the chairs laid out doesn't leave us much wiggle room
19:15:05 [Judy]
agenda?
19:15:08 [MichaelC]
jb: so MC to add edits

19:17:43 [Judy]
this is the review summary from Maciej, including input from the other HTML5 Co-Chairs
19:19:44 [MichaelC]
jb: need to provide comprehensive response
19:19:50 [MichaelC]
Laura has replied and will probably want to help
19:20:51 [Judy]
...and would probably also appreciate help
19:20:53 [Judy]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Feb/0058.html
19:24:05 [MichaelC]
js: still seem not to understand why aria-describedby not workable
19:25:04 [MichaelC]
not a way to provide long description of an image
19:25:13 [MichaelC]
mc: for off-page descriptions
19:25:32 [MichaelC]
js: but on-page descriptions not workable because they intrude for mainstream users
19:27:21 [MichaelC]
also we need to have rich text, but AAPIs don't get rich text from targets of aria-describedby
19:28:11 [MichaelC]
have to have a longdesc-type arc to get a version where rich text available
19:29:32 [MichaelC]
js: wonder if they don't understand the rich text issue, or if they dispute the requirement
19:29:43 [MichaelC]
could clarify that in a question to them
19:29:55 [Judy]
jb: go for it
19:30:51 [Judy]
