agendum 2. "News: aria-hasannotation and aria-annotatedby (https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26106)." taken up [from clown]
19:07:29 [joanie]
JS: We had a great discussion yesterday about MS request for two new aria properties.
19:07:50 [joanie]
JS: If you have a piece of text which has an annotation (author's comment, footnote, etc.)
19:08:01 [joanie]
JS: You use the hasannotation to specify the type
19:08:14 [joanie]
JS: And annotatedby for the annotation text.
19:08:30 [joanie]
JS: A resolution to create spec text was made.
19:08:36 [joanie]
JS: We'll also need mappings.
19:08:57 [joanie]
JS: UIA already has mappings
19:09:17 [joanie]
JS: But the other platform accessibility APIs do not have this in place yet.
19:09:26 [joanie]
JD: You mean the role or the relationship?
19:09:29 [joanie]
JS: The relationship.
19:09:38 [joanie]
DB: Are there any restrictions on what an annotation can be?
19:09:40 [joanie]
JS: No
19:09:44 [joanie]
DB: Good
19:09:53 [joanie]
JS: One value is "true"
19:10:06 [joanie]
JS: Annotated by is the ID

19:11:50 [joanie]
JS: (Reads types of annotations)
19:11:56 [joanie]
JS: And James N requested more
19:12:00 [joanie]
DB: What is true?
19:12:11 [joanie]
JS: We have an annotation, but don't know what type it is.
19:12:41 [joanie]
JS: And the annotatedby points to the annotation
19:13:15 [joanie]
JS: One thing Chris said is the way the implemented it in Word and PowerPoint online is not put them in the DOM until the user requests them.
19:13:27 [joanie]
CS: And there's a larger issue around virtual content
19:13:48 [joanie]
CS: All the people from big companies have this issue
19:14:03 [joanie]
JS: Dojo anticipated this problem with grid.
19:14:21 [joanie]
s/DB: What is true?/BG: What is true?/
19:14:45 [joanie]
CS: It is less clear how to address the issue in Word
19:15:18 [joanie]
CS: We have handled it in the client app, but it's harder for the web app
19:15:53 [joanie]
CS: It's different in the annotations working group. They are talking about annotations between sites. This is within the document.
19:16:08 [joanie]
CS: So there is some overlap (e.g. tagging text ranges)
19:16:14 [joanie]
CS: But the use cases are different
19:18:01 [joanie]
DB: We won't want to shove this into object attributes.
19:18:06 [joanie]
CS: Agrees
19:18:09 [joanie]
JD: Agrees
19:18:22 [joanie]
DB: I sort of like the idea of describing what it has and then actually pointing to it.
19:18:32 [joanie]
JS: There's one other thing which they came up with which I'm still mulling over
19:18:43 [joanie]
JS: You can have multiple notes pointing to the same text
19:18:57 [joanie]
JS: They handle this with multiple spans.
19:20:42 [joanie]
DB: Where did the range discussion happen?
19:20:54 [joanie]
CS: There was some at Microsoft and some at the annotations working group
19:21:45 [joanie]
DB: I'll talk to Alex and Marco about this.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-xtech/2014Jun/0007.html
19:23:41 [joanie]
JS: And you noted that we need to create a test suite and harness for 1.1 so you can put this test in.
19:23:59 [joanie]
CS: I was going to wait a couple of weeks before raising this with Michael as he's busy at the moment.

action-1457 (Ask Michael to create 1.1 testharness) associated with issue-618.

19:32:04 [trackbot]
https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1408
19:32:13 [joanie]
JS: My thought is to wait until Jason starts joining our meetings.
19:32:29 [joanie]
JS: I don't get the sense that this is a high-priority. Does anyone disagree?
19:32:48 [joanie]
JS: The HTML people want a section in our document outlining the differences between the accessibility APIs.
19:33:16 [joanie]
CS: I remember us having something similar to that and we agreed to remove it a couple of years ago.
19:33:24 [joanie]
DB: I agree this is not high-priority.
19:35:00 [joanie]
(Some discussion about automated testing)
19:35:13 [joanie]
JS: WebKit has this.
19:35:23 [joanie]
DB: I think someone at Google is doing this as well.
19:35:42 [joanie]
CS: There's also a client application that drives the browser.
19:36:28 [joanie]
DB: It would be nice to make something platform agnostic
19:36:40 [joanie]
CS: James C and James N were talking about something similar
19:37:17 [davidb]
yeah
19:37:37 [davidb]
(getcomputed* [name,role...])
19:38:03 [joanie]
CS: I remember their wanting to have an intermediate layer.
19:38:28 [joanie]
JS: Something like an acid test would be very nice.
19:39:36 [joanie]
DB: This might be something TPG could do.
19:41:14 [joanie]
DB: We're using our xpcom stuff. I can get you a document that explain how our testing works.
19:41:37 [joanie]
CS: I would love some automation for our testing harness.
19:41:45 [joanie]
DB: What I'm talking about tests our abstraction.
19:46:40 [joanie]

https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1419
19:52:02 [joanie]
JD: Having spoken with Joseph about this issue, it seems there are use cases for it. Therefore, while it might not be ideal UI, it is possible UI. So from the point of view of ARIA we need to keep supporting this.
19:52:11 [davidb]

19:52:58 [joanie]
JD: This was discussed at the ARIA meeting.
19:53:31 [joanie]
JS: That's right. And after a thorough discussion at that meeting, the conclusion was to put checkable back in 1.1 for listboxes.
19:53:37 [joanie]

19:53:59 [joanie]
JS: This was raised last week by Cynthia.
19:54:03 [joanie]
JS: I will do this.
19:54:14 [joanie]
JS: What this is is that section 3 of the mapping guide is the glossary.
19:54:28 [joanie]
JS: There's a section in there about UIA express.
19:54:33 [joanie]
JS: There is no link in there.
19:54:38 [joanie]
JS: Cynthia gave us a link.
19:54:43 [joanie]
JS: The link will go into both.
19:54:56 [joanie]
JS: The document processor we use for re-spec uses special notation for doing references.
19:55:02 [joanie]
JS: Typing it in is like this:
19:55:20 [clown]
[[UIAEXPRESS]]
19:55:39 [joanie]
JS: And then re-spec consults a database and pulls in the URL for you.
19:55:52 [joanie]
JS: UIA express is not in that database (yet).
19:55:58 [joanie]
JS: So I'll have to add it.
19:56:07 [joanie]
