BTW -- quick kudos to Peter and Rich for running a great
meeting at CSUN. We were all pretty tired by the time Friday evening came
around, but we did get alot accomplished. It was also great to meet Chieko and
Hiro.

Thanks Nathaniel. Has the TC begun to address the table issue
yet?

Re: [office] 3/16 Minutes
Sorry for
being unclear. All I meant was that it was the SC's duty to make the problem
clear to the TC. I believe you have already done that more than adequately. --

Re: [office] 3/16 Minutes
Hi
Nathaniel,
What do you mean by "has a role in formally raising it to the
attention of the TC." This reads like do we have actually have the right of
submitting requirements to the TC. I don't think that is what you meant. Did you
mean to say that the process for submitting requirements is unclear?

[office] 3/16 Minutes
OASIS ODF
Accessibility SC Meeting MINUTES
Thursday March 16,
2006
[Please send any corrections or additions to
Nathaniel this week.]
Attending (This is probably
wrong): Nathaniel Borenstein, Jerry Barrier, Mike Paciello, Chieko Asakawa,
Hironobu Takagi, Tatsuye Ishihara, Steve Noble, Peter Korn, Rich Schwerdtfeger,
Janina Sajka. Janina took notes in the absence of Dave Pawson, from which these
minutes were prepared by the chair.
I. The minutes
of the March 9 meeting were approved as corrected and submitted.
II. Next week, most of this subcommittee will be at CSUN, while
others (Nathaniel, anyway) will be at IETF. We discussed having a semi-formal
meeting of the subcommittee at CSUN, and (with refinement on the mailing list)
agreed on a date, time, and place. Topics to be discussed in person were added
throughout the meeting: (1) Focus tracking (2) Z-order (3) alt-texts.
III. The topic of short vs long alt-text fields was
discussed. The mediaobject proposal might be a better way to approach this
problem, but it was agreed that this was too big a change to undertake for our
short term (June) deadline, but agreed we should consider it seriously after
that. It was generally agreed to take the short/long approach in the near term.
In the long term we will discuss both the mediaobject proposal and the possible
use of the caption field.
IV. The table/svg issue
was discussed. There is a consensus between the TC and the SC that this is a job
for the TC, but that the SC has a role in formally raising it to the attention
of the TC. It is hoped but not yet certain that the TC can solve this problem in
the short-term time frame.
V. List item issue: There
is no easy semantic way to know how deep we are in a nested list structure. The
appropriate information might be inferred, but only in a rather klugy way that
puts a larger burden on implementers. The obvious way to fix this would be to
add an indent or depth attribute.
VI. List of use
cases from Matt: After discussion, the SC concluded that there were not
additional requirements generated from these use cases. Sighs of relief were
audible all around.
VII. Traversal of objects in a
complex drawing was discussed, somewhat inconclusively, and deferred to the
in-person meeting at CSUN.
The next meeting will
take place on March 30.
Summary of action
items:
Dave Pawson -- Although absent from this
meeting, Dave as document editor needs to make sure that topics III and V make
it into the document.
Various -- Try to make
progress at CSUN on the key issues described above.
Nathaniel -- Follow up with TC on Table/SVG issue (again)
