Marla: The icons logos and symbols in like editors where the tool tips are necessary for knowing what they are.
16:08:15 [Wayne]

16:11:07 [Wayne]
Glenda: This is something that could be solved at the browser.
16:12:21 [Wayne]
Jim: There is an out make the same functionality with the keyboard. Hover and focus solves multiple wayse.
16:12:43 [Wayne]
Alan: Focus tool tips are not out in general.
16:14:01 [alastairc]
For each item of content that is [add]only[/add] shown by hovering your mouse over an element
16:14:42 [Wayne]
Glenda: Content is available by a method other than mouse hover.
16:15:10 [Wayne]
... add "for example on focus"
16:16:02 [Wayne]
Marla: For a technique we need to add scripting to make this work.
16:16:53 [Wayne]
Jim: Mouse pointer covering the tootip. How does it work?
16:17:47 [Wayne]
Alastair: Either you cannot read the tool tip or the tool tip covers something else. You cannot rely on the cursor to relay information.
16:18:23 [Wayne]
Jim: I made my tooltip hoverable, but the mouse still covers
16:18:50 [Wayne]
Alastair: If you can use keyboard focus.
16:19:28 [Wayne]
Marla: I moved away from the original content.
16:20:05 [Wayne]
... Rather within the limits of the OS, but they must be keyboard accessible.
16:21:04 [Wayne]
... Mouse user may be excluded from tool tips
16:22:03 [Wayne]
Alastair: If we cover the cursor that may need to go to Silver.
16:22:56 [Wayne]
Jim: We have a good and useful SC then without the cursor issue.
16:23:36 [Wayne]
Jim: The SC covers everything but cursor covering content.
16:24:56 [Wayne]
Alan: The tool tip will overlap something.
16:26:18 [Wayne]
Marla: The reason the screen shot (perkins) the screen zoom follows the mouse and the mouse will cover elements. Suplemental unnecessaryu information is in the way.
16:27:09 [Wayne]
Alastair: Maybe we need a refined definition if informational conent.
16:28:54 [alastairc]
Wording: Content whose primary purpose is to provides information, not navigational or functional elements such as links, buttons or menus.

wd: yes
16:34:51 [allanj]
wd: issues - hidden text (same fg and bg color), place holder.

marla: able to view text includes placeholder text
16:35:42 [allanj]
wd: discuss css
16:37:19 [allanj]
jim: concerns about what authors can do to implement this. can authors block user changes?
16:38:11 [allanj]
wd: it is possible for authors to block changes. code level css with !important will block user css

q+
16:41:37 [allanj]
wd: other ways to do things other than sprites.
16:42:55 [allanj]
scottm: bg images are faster. poor alternatives to bg images for screen reader users. lv users remove bg images to improve the view and loose functionality.
16:44:48 [laura]
agree with scott
16:46:43 [laura]
WCAG already has: F3: Failure of Success Criterion 1.1.1 due to using CSS to include images that convey important information: https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20161007/F3.html
16:46:50 [allanj]
alastair: does a page become unusable when background images go away. there are specific cases. there are better ways of doing things.
16:47:23 [Glenda]
I’m comfortable with this proposed SC moving forward…I think this discussion will happen again at the WCAG WG level.
16:47:28 [allanj]
marla: add "without loss of content or functionality" to cover the image issue or other color things that pop up.
16:48:06 [allanj]
wd: or "without loss of important information"
16:48:11 [erich_manser]
+1 to adding "without loss..." text
16:50:41 [alastairc]
Changed to: Users must be able to change foreground and background colors chosen from the full range of color choices provided by the user agent, without loss of important information.

I need to drop the call. Thanks. Great work.
17:16:08 [alastairc]
Shawn: are we getting to the other SCs? Font family etc.
17:18:01 [allanj]
font family, spacing, text style
17:18:13 [alastairc]
Wayne: anticipate it would get to WCAG, and they would say it isn't something an author can do. Also, need to be able to demo on two platforms.
17:18:33 [alastairc]
Wayne: Could do as the printing one, and have examples from HTML.
17:18:58 [alastairc]
Would work like the text colour one, you do it in the browser and you've got it.
17:19:26 [alastairc]
Allanj: are those three ok?
17:19:37 [alastairc]

John: Why are we going from 200 to 400?
17:23:53 [Wayne]

17:24:59 [Wayne]
John: Should we add for large resize use reflow.
17:25:10 [Wayne]

I agree with Wayne and Shawn…to make a resolution for things we are passing to Silver.
17:37:12 [JohnRochford]
FYI: I added a link, to our Reflow SC, to the new text in the description section of our Size of all elements SC.
17:37:19 [allanj]
wayne: because of the limitation of 2.1, recognize there are essential needs that are not met by these SC. We are not submitting xxx at this time, but will be submitting to Silver
17:38:11 [allanj]
wd: limited by what authors can do.
17:38:41 [allanj]
wd: lvtf write a report to wcag about things not covered by 2.1 SC
