16:38:40 [trackbot]

16:39:32 [fesch]
mk: have a branch for grids but have a syntax error, so missing headers
16:40:54 [fesch]
mk: go to grid...
16:43:11 [fesch]
mk: I rearranged and streamlined the description of grid, making it broader, so it is broader than tabular data

rs: there are some redundant text
16:47:55 [fesch]
rs: why do we need to call out the grid role here? It should be inherited
16:48:11 [fesch]
mk: look at the however...
16:48:22 [fesch]
rs: why to we have treegrid mentioned in grid?
16:48:40 [richardschwerdtfeger]

16:48:59 [fesch]
mk: I thought I got rid of all the erroneous mentions of treegrid
16:49:31 [fesch]
js:: I don't see treegrid in Matt's branch
16:49:42 [fesch]
jd: treegrid is messed up
16:49:52 [fesch]

mk: the screen reader developers mostly today don't support captioning table with labelby
16:52:11 [fesch]
mk: it is new in aira 1.1 to label a table this way... if you were building a table role you wouldn't have a caption
16:52:23 [fesch]
rs: summary was deleated
16:53:06 [fesch]
rs: If you want to have a visual caption, you could say you provide an aria-labeledby
16:53:42 [fesch]
rs: what you are saying is, if you built it on a table with a caption you would get it for free
16:54:19 [fesch]
mk: if you built a grid off a table and the table had a caption, I am assuming it (the caption) would be a label on the grid
16:54:29 [clown]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/html-aam/html-aam.html#el-caption
16:54:47 [fesch]
rs: because HTML and ARIA have so much overlap we should have joint testing
16:55:10 [fesch]
rs: I think there is a problem as there is no relationship,
16:55:21 [fesch]
js: mostly it is exposed at text...
16:55:56 [fesch]
js: labeledby property is on the table
16:56:09 [fesch]
rs: so it is OK
16:56:57 [fesch]
mk: I added to be keyboard accessible the author should control focus
16:57:30 [fesch]
mk: added users navigating, that the elements that receive focus should be gridcells
16:57:49 [fesch]
js: sounds like it is right out of APG
16:58:18 [fesch]
rs: do we talk about owned elements?
16:58:29 [fesch]
mk: no nothing specific
16:58:38 [fesch]
rs: that was really important
16:58:49 [fesch]
js: yes, it is in there
16:58:57 [fesch]
mk: yes I clarified it
16:59:29 [fesch]
mk: I added rowheader and columnheader, to be clear
16:59:51 [fesch]
rs: para with accessible name - need changes ...
17:00:04 [fesch]
rs: want to address caption issue
17:00:25 [fesch]
rs: common ways to provide captions are labeledby and...
17:01:15 [fesch]
rs: are people happy with the rest of that text?
17:01:32 [fesch]
js: I see aria-owns from the characteristic table
17:01:45 [fesch]
mk: that is not intentional
17:02:09 [fesch]
rs: missing inherited properties...
17:02:41 [fesch]
mk: editing error causing respec to fail
17:02:58 [fesch]
js: need to read final version
17:04:05 [fesch]
mk: discusses grid text, rewrote readonly part
17:06:40 [fesch]
rs: I think we need to mention gridcell and cell could be used interchangeably (synonyms)
17:07:02 [fesch]
mk: I thought one was a descendent of the other
17:07:15 [fesch]
rs: I thought the group wanted to go to cell
17:08:27 [richardschwerdtfeger]
http://www.w3.org/2015/09/03-aria-minutes.html
17:09:54 [fesch]
discussion of minutes...
17:10:28 [fesch]
mk: wrote two paragraphs about readonly... discussion
17:12:08 [fesch]
mk: hopefully the readonly paragraphs will help screen reader develops...
17:12:19 [clown]
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/html-aam/html-aam.html#el-td
17:13:11 [fesch]
js: the current mapping for td is gridcell
17:13:24 [fesch]
js: td and th are mapped to gridcell
17:13:55 [fesch]
js: might be HTML has not caught up to us (don't have cell)
17:14:27 [fesch]
rs: we need to open an action against the mapping spec.
17:15:28 [fesch]
js: probably want to say if a td is in a grid map it to gridcell if in a table map to cell
17:16:10 [fesch]
mk: in UIA won't gridcell and cell map to the same thing?
17:16:30 [fesch]
cyn: we have a table pattern and a grid pattern
17:16:52 [fesch]
rs: what about th?
17:17:34 [fesch]
js: reads mapping spec on th
17:18:08 [fesch]
rs: will send a note on tds
17:18:27 [fesch]
rs: change the captions
17:18:46 [fesch]
mk: did you read the readonly?
17:18:51 [fesch]
rs: yes that is OK

User Agents MUST implicitly propagate the value of readonly set on a grid element to all its owned gridcell elements and expose the value in the accessibility API.
17:20:16 [fesch]
js: get rid of implicitly

17:29:04 [fesch]
rs: so you want stuff put on either end of the list?
17:29:10 [fesch]
mc: yes
17:30:53 [fesch]
rs: couple of questions - Is that a SHOULD?
17:31:10 [fesch]
js: capitalize the word to get the styling
17:31:41 [fesch]
rs: are people happy giving this much guidance to AT?
17:32:00 [fesch]
rs: if you want to do that, then bring in AT vendors
17:32:19 [fesch]
mk: I am talking to Freedom and another vender....
17:33:51 [fesch]
rs: you have an exact host language attribute you want authors to use (tabindex)
17:34:21 [fesch]
rs: we are looking at alternative keyboard navigation for later SVG
17:34:43 [fesch]
mk: say why they should be focusable that way and not some other way
17:35:25 [fesch]
js: what if the person is using activedesendent?
17:35:56 [fesch]
mk: it is not a widget

q+ to ask about the relevance of aria-relevant
17:38:00 [fesch]
mk: if you have a user initiated action, we don't care about that
17:38:11 [fesch]
mk: only infinite scroll
17:39:45 [fesch]
rs: you want to have interactive lists,
17:40:08 [fesch]
mk: yes, will add
17:40:21 [fesch]
rs: what happens if you drill down into a list item
17:41:12 [fesch]
mc: if you are non screen reader user and using this element, this contract doesn't do anything for you...
17:41:32 [fesch]
rs: are you going to make a authoring practice for it?
17:42:05 [fesch]
mk: this doesn't prescribe how this is done
17:42:15 [fesch]
mk: this element is a structure not a widget
17:42:51 [fesch]
rs: if I put a link in the list item, what about putting a list in a list item, will that confuse you?
17:43:41 [fesch]
mk: no, the only time the screen reader user cares about when you navigate through a focusable item...
17:44:27 [fesch]
mk: doesn't matter what is in a listitem
17:44:43 [fesch]
rs: you could have a feed within a feed
17:45:08 [fesch]
mk: you could something like that, I don't think it would be a problem
17:45:42 [fesch]
rs: may want to know when you have a feed within a feed you should put labels on them
17:46:38 [fesch]
rs: any reason we don't call it a feed?
17:47:36 [fesch]
mk: we have another role, where the children inside are article so you can label and give a description in the item, so the description is what a screen reader should hear when scrolling through the list
17:48:11 [fesch]
mk: this one could be feed and the other is an articlefeed
17:48:35 [fesch]
rs: I don't think you one to be a subclass of the other, they should be a subclass of list
17:49:04 [fesch]
mk: I thought I would be able to simplify them as a child
17:50:01 [fesch]
mk: I don't have a strong preference whether they are siblings or descendents
17:50:11 [fesch]
rs: I would make them siblings

17:52:59 [fesch]
js: wondering anything to do with aria-relevant?
17:53:26 [fesch]
js: aria-relevant is all about additions and removals
17:53:48 [fesch]
mk: could be doing both additions and removals in the same action
17:54:19 [fesch]
mk: the screen reader doesn't have a signal

js: aria-relevent can do both additions and removals at the same time - all
17:55:33 [fesch]
jd: do you need of index of where it is?
17:57:16 [fesch]
mk: can represent all actions with sighed values
17:57:53 [fesch]
mk: so if a screen reader developer wanted to reveal that information, it would be very easy
17:58:49 [fesch]
jd: do you have a screen reader vendor that wants to know addition, subtraction and position?
17:59:36 [fesch]
mk: confusing example of adding and subtracting at the same time, but pretty easy to figure out where you are
18:00:16 [fesch]
mk: important thing is when aria-busy, that the screen reader not loose where they are
18:00:41 [fesch]
mk: user might be moving quickly through the list
18:00:55 [fesch]
jd: Orca does not use the virtual buffer....
