awk: Change is proposed for SC uses the term essential. Essential content will not be obscured. Proposal to add "other than pure decoration" and remove "essential".
15:14:35 [melledge]
awk: Do have a definition of "pure decoration." Concern about that and "essential". Alister concern about restricitions on placement and Mark as well.
15:14:50 [melledge]
awk: Should include tool tips as well.
15:15:01 [Pietro]
Pietro has joined #ag
15:15:43 [allanj]
In WCAG20 def pure decoration -serving only an aesthetic purpose, providing no information, and having no functionality. Note: Text is only purely decorative if the words can be rearranged or substituted without changing their purpose.

Present+ Makoto
15:18:23 [steverep]
q+ to say loss of visibility is the issue - if the border is what makes it clear, then don't block it or let me close it
15:18:28 [melledge]
awk: Instead of obscuring content, remove "access to functionality".
15:18:51 [melledge]
sr: Not talking about content here. Need to characterize what we don't want to obscure.
15:18:54 [AWK]

ack steve
15:19:35 [Zakim]
steverep, you wanted to say loss of visibility is the issue - if the border is what makes it clear, then don't block it or let me close it
15:19:36 [melledge]
alastair: Lots of things are triggers. Have to talk about things within the triggering mechansim. Is this in scope?
15:19:47 [marcjohlic]
q+
15:20:27 [melledge]
sr: We can't really talk about functionality. Trying to see the trigger. In the case of border, if pure decoration, then block it. If not, then don't block it.
15:20:43 [AWK]
ack marc
15:20:53 [melledge]
sr: Two options: to put on side or ....very easy to solve.
15:21:29 [alastairc]
s/Lots of things are triggers. Have to talk about things within the triggering mechansim. Is this in scope?/It is quite narrow in scope, has to be triggered by hover or focus, non-decorative content within the trigger. What examples are there?
15:21:58 [melledge]
? Missing some pattern that's being used. If you look away from it should go away. Something that pops up and goes away.
15:22:25 [Ryladog]
+1 to Marc and Steve
15:22:32 [melledge]
awk: When a keyboard trigger causes content to disappear, have to make sure it can be repositioned.
15:22:36 [marcjohlic]
"Either the additional content does not obscure any content within the triggering user interface component, or the additional content can be closed or repositioned by the user;"

15:23:33 [steverep]
May I respond to that???
15:23:37 [melledge]
alex: location, location, location. This is about what is covered where there is no room. Can't go on other side of the screen. Different types of triggers need flexibility.
15:23:43 [AWK]
ack Steve
15:24:08 [melledge]
sr: Yes have to put it somewhere. If you have to obscure some part of trigger than give me option 2 to close it.
15:24:15 [marcjohlic]
+1
15:25:02 [melledge]
awk: Need to identify if there are any examples to show where it would be a problem. Then is there a possibility to satisfy the visible bullet aspect bec content can't be closed.

ack katie
15:25:50 [melledge]
katie: Happened to me this morning. Form, popup obscured part of form.
15:26:00 [steverep]
Probably not.... imagine you were magnified
15:26:01 [marcjohlic]
+1 hard for everyone - horrible design
15:26:15 [melledge]
Katie: Could see as problem for low vision person.
15:26:41 [alastairc]
I don't think it would be covered unless it was triggered by hover/focus, and covered the trigger.
15:26:48 [Detlev]
I accept whatever solution gets us out of this hole quickly...
15:26:55 [melledge]
awk: Over our ten minutes. Think we've got core question: not hearing support for pure decoration aspect. Seems to be whether essential should be there.
15:27:02 [melledge]
awk: Need some examples.
15:27:09 [melledge]
Katie: I'll put in url
15:27:35 [steverep]
q+ to say I don't think we should be deciding if there is consensus the world if flat, not round
15:27:52 [alastairc]
Still can't see what is wrong with: "Either the additional content does not obscure  content within the triggering user interface component, or the additional content can be closed or repositioned by the user;"
15:27:54 [Ryladog]
Is this an example of this: www.trainingcentertechnologies.com/MedicResponse/studentSignUp.aspx?PKID=-1&CTYID=302&PKORD=-19804
15:28:47 [melledge]
? there is an exception where user agent controls presentation. We're only talking about author here. If browser tool tip obscures, it's a browser issue or operating system. Need to consider whether it's an author issue. OS doesn't count.
15:29:06 [melledge]
awk: Need to find some realistic concerns.
15:29:09 [allanj]
s/? /ja:
15:29:17 [alastairc]
Ryladog: no, that is persistent rather than triggered by hover/focus.

TOPIC: in graphics contrast
15:31:44 [melledge]
awk: Started out with graphical contrast in content at 4.5:1. Replace "essential" with "necessary." 3 likes, 7 add'l discussion.
15:32:27 [melledge]
awk: Kathy: necessary seems to have same problem as essential. Couple of requests to explain why essential is wrong.
15:33:22 [melledge]
steve: So for this one, really difficult to substitute definition, because describing a graphical object. First part also doesn't seem to make sense. already saying essential for content.
15:33:41 [melledge]
Steve: Then second part hard to see how it applies.
15:33:49 [Alex]
q+
15:34:22 [AWK]
ack alex
15:34:32 [melledge]
steve: Not sure it makes sense. Need a synonym, a carry over from defining a graphical object. Necessary first came. up.
15:34:45 [alastairc]
As SC manager, happy with either "necessary" or "required".
15:34:46 [alastairc]
q+
15:34:59 [melledge]
alastair: More concrete examples? Icons that describe to us how does essential not work.
15:35:21 [AWK]
ack steve
15:35:32 [AWK]
ack alex
15:35:40 [melledge]
steve: don't want to discuss SC, but point is that you try to substitute essential how does it fit. "Can't be achieved in any other way."
15:35:59 [melledge]
alex: What part does not apply?
15:36:20 [melledge]
alex: Can't replace head part of icon? Put on some hair?
15:36:21 [alastairc]
Please see the understanding doc, temp location here: https://alastairc.ac/tmp/graphics-contrast.html
15:36:30 [melledge]
steve: No, not saying that.
15:36:43 [melledge]
alex: No other way to draw figure? Don't understand?
15:36:44 [Detlev]
replace term 'essential' with the definition in WCAG 2.0 - that concept is not clear to all right now
15:37:00 [AWK]
ack ala
15:37:02 [allanj]
WCAG20 Def - essential - if removed, would fundamentally change the information or functionality of the content, and information and functionality cannot be achieved in another way that would conform
15:37:53 [melledge]
alastair: Essential is defined if another way to meet than not essential. Doesn't apply in this case. Happy with acquired, necessary have the right meaning.
15:38:09 [melledge]
Alex: Another way to replace it?
15:38:36 [melledge]
Alastair: Can replace graphic with text. But probably wouldn't want to do that.

q+ to agree with Jason, but an issue for another day
15:40:58 [melledge]
alex: acquired or necessary could be used. Do we want to be specific? Where pure decoration wouldn't need to have contrast ratio. Are there other categories where it wouldn't apply as well?
15:41:08 [AWK]

ok, AWK, the speaker queue is closed
15:41:44 [melledge]
josh: Question about definition. A graphic that can be replaced by something else is not essential.
15:41:58 [AWK]
ack steve
15:41:58 [Zakim]
steverep, you wanted to agree with Jason, but an issue for another day
15:42:03 [melledge]
alastair: Required for understanding works just as well.
15:42:34 [alastairc]
Current: "graphical objects that are essential for understanding the content or functionality..." works with required.
15:42:48 [Joshue108]
thanks Alastair and Steve..
15:43:01 [alastairc]
separate issue
15:43:06 [melledge]
steve: your point is direct. If we use essential, we have to talk about somehting that can only be replaced in a certain way.
15:43:17 [melledge]
awk: essential at the beginning?
15:43:39 [melledge]
steve: exception just adds a link. Essential for understanding is what we're discussing.
15:43:56 [Ryladog]
+1 to Steve
15:44:16 [melledge]
awk: you're proposing adding link, that essential is the problem.
15:44:29 [melledge]

+1 to AWK... no reason to take the risk
15:47:44 [melledge]

15:48:27 [steverep]

awk: Some subjectivity, but...
15:50:27 [melledge]
alastair: Understanding doc makes it hard to define(?)
15:50:57 [melledge]

we HAVE a word
15:51:15 [melledge]
mike gower: Alastair should find word.
15:52:01 [melledge]
alex: My proposal to use decoration as criteria also objection to required. Excluding graphical object that doesn't fall into category.
15:52:26 [gowerm]
+1. Jason's wording sounds fine to me
15:52:43 [melledge]

1.4.12 NOTE Examples of visual identifiers of user interface components may include (a border, edge, or icon), current value (such as non-text visual indication of aria-value now on a slider) and current state (such as selection indicator, focus indicator) or other visual indication (which do not rely on color alone). <-- could be used as a start for definition
15:58:51 [melledge]
steve: Think Jason's point has merit. My logic for removing it was if use "identifier", already is essential.
15:58:55 [alastairc]
Create a new github issue for making the note into a definition?
15:59:45 [melledge]
awk: Similar to last one, except hinging on identifiers. If something is used to identify that control than needs to meet color contrast ratio.
16:00:09 [melledge]
awk: Does anyone think essential is essential, and why?
16:00:14 [allanj]
Glenda is happy to not use word essential
16:00:40 [steverep]
None - the proposal is to take it away
16:00:40 [alastairc]
Worth noting that 'flat design' which has no visual identifiers will pass this.

No, it's not "essential" per the WCAG definition - that's the point.
16:10:10 [melledge]
awk: Highlights or text font?
16:10:34 [alastairc]
but the indicator would be the line around the button, not the icon itself

I don't think that's what I meant.... checking my comments now
16:24:06 [Brooks]
One context to consider when discussing color contrast for user interface controls and/or graphics, is when you have an exclamation mark icon with low color contrast paired with form validation error text. The icon is critical to some users to recognize the error, but it might not be considered "essential" when there is error text close by to supplement the meaning of the exclmation icon itself.
