Rich: reviewing agenda - Scope of work and why, new ground for a11y
14:21:24 [fesch]
Rich: why taxonomy - avoids duplication, have not done on graphics before
14:21:35 [fesch]
Rich: also needs to look at navigation
14:23:02 [fesch]
doug: tradeoff of pragmatics of what is working today vs where we need to go - SVG tiny not well acceptable - moz not doing focusable
14:23:38 [fesch]
doug: need focusable in SVG 2
14:27:45 [fesch]
fred, doug, rich: discussion on focus
14:29:16 [fesch]
fred, doug, rich: discuss: forcus/ aria-activedesendent and scope of focus
14:31:11 [fesch]
doug: need to understand how focus works in HTML 5 and may need to extend for SVG as apposed to activedecsendent

rich: review of SVG2 accessibility API
14:37:40 [fesch]
rich: we may need to extend API on platforms, but warning - that makes the time longer
14:38:23 [fesch]
doug: want to avoid extending platform API - if we can
14:40:41 [fesch]
doug: rich mentioned this may work for canvas as well, doug wants to be as generic as possible
14:41:37 [fesch]
rich: authoring practices - may be well ahead of STEM, where is the best place for authoring practices?
