agendum 1. "Understanding Docs. https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/tree/master/understanding/21" taken up [from allanj]
15:07:42 [erich]
JA: They've created a shell for all the understanding docs
15:08:27 [erich]
JA: Chairs decided SC Managers would need to fill out the needed information
15:08:48 [erich]
JA: SC Managers need to start working on them
15:09:15 [erich]
JA: We can morph the wiki to look more like the understanding docs
15:10:17 [erich]
LC: Have started mine, but can put in to the wiki
15:11:30 [erich]
WD: Linearization is becoming narrower and narrower
15:11:58 [erich]
LC: they seem to need to be narrowed to get consensus
15:13:10 [erich]
GS: agree, but doesn't mean to just let it get too narrow, need to continue to push
15:14:43 [ScottM]
Some of these issues affect COGA as well, how are they addressing these issues?
15:15:38 [erich]
WD: Some things marked essential are not actually essential

SR: lots of discussion on Zoom Content, Alastair does great at separating minor differences, wondering if they can be covered under 1 SC
15:18:35 [erich]
JA: have a query in about getting CFC on Zoom Content
15:21:18 [erich]
WD: letting go of linearization, and limiting the characters, could prompt the realization
15:22:05 [erich]
JA: I have edited all wiki and issue pages with links to understanding docs

15:25:01 [allanj]
https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/10
15:26:57 [allanj]
gs: does lvtf make authors responsible for color contrast when the browsers don't do it right in the first place
15:26:57 [erich]
GS: question is are we going to hold developers responsible for things browser doesn't provide (should browser vendors fix)?
15:27:39 [steverep]
Can you catch us up on what fails? 4.5 or 3?
15:28:53 [allanj]
http://w3c.github.io/low-vision-SC/luminosity-form-controls.html
15:29:47 [erich]
SR: language about if author has or hasn't modified was added at the end, needs to be cleared up
15:30:47 [erich]
WD: have a million developers who would need to make this change, 200 million people impacted by it
15:31:01 [laura]
Should we be filing bugs?
15:31:08 [allanj]
bugs have been filed on Video elements
15:31:22 [erich]
GS: am saying that we should go to the browser vendors to make the change
15:34:03 [allanj]
Jim will file bugs on contrast of form controls
15:34:58 [laura]
User agent control: the appearance of the target is determined by the user agent and is not modified by the author.
15:35:03 [laura]
https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/60
15:35:42 [erich]

15:37:30 [erich]
SR: wording doesn't specify what consitutes a modification
15:37:48 [erich]
GS: should we say the colors are not modified
15:37:54 [erich]
SR: think that would clear it up
15:38:16 [Glenda]
User agent control: the colors of the UIC are determined by the user agent and are not modified by the author.
15:39:07 [erich]
LC: should it be contrast?
15:39:35 [erich]
GS: we can't provide the contrast, only color
15:40:11 [Glenda]
User agent control: the color contrast of the UIC the user agent default and is not modified by the author.
15:40:44 [Glenda]
User agent control: the color contrast of the UIC is the user agent default and is not modified by the author.
15:41:50 [Glenda]
Proposal 2: User agent control: the color(s) and surrounding color(s) of the UIC are the user agent default and are not modified by the author.

15:43:09 [allanj]
testing: if anything in the the stylesheet changes the color of the component or the background color surrounding the component, then the color contrast must meet wcag
15:43:51 [erich]
JA: unless author has plain white page, and doesn't touch colors of form controls, then they have to touch it
15:44:14 [erich]
WD: what if author changes background color in a way that meets it?
15:44:23 [erich]
JA: then they are done, and didn't break anything
15:45:47 [Glenda]
User agent control: the color(s) and adjacent color(s) of the UIC are determined by the user agent and are not modified by the author.
15:45:58 [steverep]
User agent control: The color(s) of the user interface component and any adjacent color(s) are determined by the user agent and are not modified by the author.

JA: we had mentioned doing research and sending out examples, is that still useful?
15:50:45 [erich]
GS: I think useful, but may not have the resources
15:52:40 [erich]
JA: may have some time and will see what we can do
15:52:53 [erich]
JA: Anything else needed on this?
15:53:33 [erich]
GS: Don't think so
15:54:10 [steverep]

topic: Font width
15:58:37 [erich]
WD: have an issue with Font Family
15:59:42 [erich]
WD: Not sure where to go with the response about including Chinese, Arabic, and about 95 total according to Unicode
15:59:57 [erich]
SH: You might send a note to the nationalization folks
16:00:00 [allanj]
CJK fonts are square
16:00:51 [erich]
WD: please send the nationalization contact info
16:00:56 [erich]
SH: ok
16:01:07 [steverep]
q+ So do we not want to add a buffer to character spacing? I'd be more comfortable if we do.

steve: So do we not want to add a buffer to character spacing? I'd be more comfortable if we do.we already have *letter spacing (tracking) to at least 0.12 em in https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/78
16:07:52 [allanj]
sr: if user changes letter spacing and font size, will they still pass the SC
16:09:07 [erich]
GS: have a question about updating the understanding document
16:09:39 [erich]
GS: went in to make the change, and link says you can't commit to the master because it's a protected branch
16:10:09 [erich]
JA: I put the wrong link in, and will fix it
16:10:16 [allanj]
wd: letter spacing and font changes are about 20% container width

16:14:02 [erich]
WD: what if we put limits on the font length and authors could be allowed to change fonts within that range
16:15:32 [allanj]
wd: verdana is about the widest "normal" font
16:16:35 [allanj]
wd: font can't vary more than 1% from Norm. if user chooses a wider font .... it is on them
16:17:40 [erich]
WD: Would say maximum range we would allow would probably be less variance than changes in resolution developers already need to deal with
16:18:34 [erich]
WD: my proposal would be to set a limit, and I can do the due diligence
16:19:57 [erich]
JA: How are we doing on Icon Fonts?

Add technique for identifying CSS generated content-images #297 https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/297
16:20:14 [erich]

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Providing_a_Semantically_Identified_Icon_Font_with_role%3Dimg
16:20:33 [erich]
SR: realy think it should be tied to 1.3.1
16:20:54 [allanj]
SR: trying to make it a technique for 1.3.1
16:24:26 [allanj]
sr: many problems with accessibility support. things that work from screen reader work differently with zoomtext.
16:24:48 [allanj]
.... also with aria-hidden,
16:25:22 [allanj]
SR: need to push role=img on icons
16:25:41 [allanj]
wd: what about abbr?
16:26:23 [allanj]
SR: then identifying as text, issues with emoticon and others
16:26:44 [allanj]
... if its a graphic should be marked as a graphic.
16:26:55 [laura]
https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Providing_a_Semantically_Identified_Icon_Font_with_role%3Dimg
16:30:14 [allanj]
ja: there is overlapping conflicts with accessibility for one group interfering with accessibility for a different group
16:30:25 [erich]
WD: from this discussion, we need more refined semantics
16:31:08 [allanj]
... aria- stuff is hidden, overrides visual labels for speech input folks.
16:33:10 [allanj]
... mouse over behaviour is different from screen reader behavior
