Mike Smith: I have been trying to get consensus here
Mike smith: I am not planning to work further on this until next month.
Mike Smith: I wanted to sync up with others and cannot do that until next monght.
<Zakim> MikeSmith, you wanted to comment on issue 206
Mike Smith: We have made positive progress to agree to drop metagenerator
Mike Smith: Coming up with an alternative is separate and harder to achieve.
PLH: Mike - are you saying you still want to solve this in HTML5.0? Or should we defer the alternative to HTML.Next?
Mike Smith: I am okay with deferring it but Henry might not agree.
Mike Smith: I was to be in sync with henry to ensure that validation services are in sync.
Maciej: Are Ted's proposal acceptable to Mike?
Mike: What is acceptable to me
depends on what is acceptable to Henry.
... Henry and Mike came up with a very long attribute name and
others did not like it.
... I am neutral about the attribute name but I want to wait
until a talk to Henry.
... Not much to add - let's move on

ISSUE-30?
<trackbot> ISSUE-30 -- Should HTML 5 include a longdesc attribute for images -- open
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/30
Sam: Lots of discussion on the preceding TF meeting
Are there minutes available?
<rubys> http://www.w3.org/2012/09/06-html-a11y-minutes.html
Mike: There was no agenda but the
meeting did occur.
... Richard help this discusion about ISSUE-204. Several others
participated in that discussion. M Cooper scribed that
discussion well.
... Rich's points helped clarify some items for me on the call.
Where the points of disagreement are and where the possible
agreements might be.
Maciej: Could someone give a brief summary of the discussion?
Sam: I have excerpts ready and can comment on them.
Maciej: Sounds like a good plan.
<rubys> (11:24:43 AM) Stevef: i agree with mike that we should try to reach consensus without formal objection
<rubys> +1
<rubys> (11:35:28 AM) MichaelC: propose we say something like "in the future, user agents my have the ability to expose semantics of hidden descriptions" and encourage providing those semantics
<rubys> Please post suggestioned rewording into the bug report(s) themselves. If we converge to a small number of stable proposals quickly, I would support reopening issue 204 and proceeding directly to survey on those proposals.
Sam: If we can get the proposals out maybe re-opening the issue and going to survey on a small number of proposals.
Janina: I don't think we are that stage.
Judy: Text is still not enough.
Janina: And Rich S is on vacation for a couple of week.s
Sam: current text is not enough but maybe we can get a small number of stable proposals
<MikeSmith> plh means hober
<MikeSmith> oh
<MikeSmith> yeah
Philippe: Rich was reporting on the TF that he was talking to James. It would be useful for James and Ted to be in sync.
Ted: I agree and we continue to work the issue.
<rubys> (11:38:58 AM) MichaelC: it would be OK for HTML to have an attribute to solve this problem
<rubys> ... perhaps "LongdescZeroEdit" could be be updated to advocate a new "describedby" (sans "aria-") attribute?
Sam: someone proposed a specific HTML attribute
Janina: I suggested this in the
TF meeting.
... Second proposal PF would be willing to mint a ARIA 1.1
(post ARIA 1.0) attribute for this functionality.
Judy: On the TF meeting there was also discussion about the suggestion to split out ARIA from HTML5, and clear opposition to that.
<hober> The PFWG charter: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/charter201006
<adrianba> PF has Requirements for ARIA 2.0 (Note) in the charter
<mjs> ARIA charter is here, for reference: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/charter201006
<Judy> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/charter201006#deliverables
The current charter says "Requirements for ARIA 2.0 (Note) "
janina: The current charter has us creating ARIA 1.0. The Requirements is being done.
Judy: There is discussiona about
ARIA 1.1 ideas and some longer term features.
... PF is working on a charter extension which might include
some ARIA 1.1 work.
Maciej: Is there a draft available of the ARIA,Next requirements?
Janina: There are tracker items but no actual document.
<rubys> (11:42:40 AM) MichaelC: plh: it's clear that people here don't want to remove ARIA from HTML
<rubys> Agreed. The harder question is: can we get people who actively want to make ARIA in HTML to work to provide proposals that they can live with? Not providing a proposal and objecting to all is not a path forward. I'm pleased to see that people have resumed providing suggestions in the form of comments on the existing bugs.
<Judy> s/There is discussiona about ARIA 1.1 ideas and some longer term features./ARIA 2.0 requirements discussion has also identified potential nearer-term ARIA 1.1 features.//
Judy: In terms of where the
discussion happens on ISSUE-204 soltuion, that is part of the
Formal Objection.
... The discussion needs to be happening in close cooperations
with the WAI TF.
Sam: Not a problem but the conclusions from any WAI TF discussions they should coome back to the HTML WG
Philippe: Could some one give a ptr to the WAI PF Tracker?
Judy: It would be clearer in a
few weeks since they are working on separating out ARIA 1.1 and
ARIA 2.0; and my understanding is that PFWG will be interested
in feedback and input on the 1.1 list..
... PF is interested in HTML WG feedback.
janina: I don't have the URI
available.
... The idea of the ARIA 1.1 items is to handle items quickly
and to handle items related to HTML discussion.
... This might be available in 3-4 weeks.
Judy: I was on the queue to point
the problems with pulling out ARIA from HTML5.
... There is on list and off list discussion.
... People are reacting to the proposal.
Sam: But now people are actually discussing the technical matters in ISSUE-204
Judy: The FO contains both
technical and procedural objections.
... Solving only the technical problems may not be
enough.
... The technical discussion need to happen on the ARIA TF.
<mjs> I just want to note for the record in the minutes that Judy said it's not her or Janina's preferred outcome to make progress on resolving the Formal Objection
Janina: The procedural issues are
not about ARIA. 149 without problems and 1 with problems.
... There has not been a proble overwhelmingly but there is one
that is a problem.
Sam: Janina: The other 149 were done correctly?
Judy: I think Janina is saying
that the outcome was okay.
... What is the agenda item?
Sam: Issue-30 is the agenda
item.
... It is appropriate to discuss the Formal objection since it
is blocking ISSUE-30.
<MikeSmith> fww, I agree with Sam that that the discussion here has been useful
<Judy> jb: it sounds are though you are actually discussing the FO itself, which is both procedural and technical, and which I don't think is appropriate to discuss here.
<Judy> ...this is not to say that technical progress is not useful, but that this is not the full context of the FO.
Paul: the chairs put the split
out ARIA forward since we are under tremendous pressure to
unblock ISSUE-30
... the proposal has got some people talking and working on at
leat the technical part of ISSUE-204
Janina: Paul - thanks for your
opinion.
... The TF thinks this would only delay HTML5 further.
Paul: Why would you think it will delay?
Janina: PF would make an objection about this.
Judy: If the Chairs intent to
make A11Y optional in HTML5 ...
... If the Charis want to unravel all the work already done and
cause less A11Y then you would been sendint that message
... Under the pressure the Chairs feel losing the work done
(for both groups) would be a loss
Sam: It is not our choice to make
A11y optional but we are trying to figure out to make our
schedule pressure
... Anyone else?
No one.
<scribe> New editor: Robin Berjon
Judy: There needs to additional followup on the list clarifying problems with splitting out ARIA..
<rubys> I note that Judy said that she will follow up on list
Sam: Welcome to Robin to role as new HTML5 editor.
<rubys> http://www.w3.org/QA/2012/09/the_flowing_standard.html
Sam: Robin has posted a blog
entry on the QA blog.
... this has got some attention.
;<)
