Items that wouldn't apply for Closed functions
LIST OF INDIVIDUAL ISSUES THAT WE DISCUSSED
3-F All Non-Text Objects
Non-text Objects: All non-text objects that are presented to the user must have a text alternative that presents equivalent information, except for the situations listed below.
- etc
DISCUSSION
- Is this provision necessary for closed products? Is the primary intent to make content available for AT? Closed products could be added to the list of exceptions if appropriate.
- This is covered by 1.2-G - Visual Information
- All information that is needed for operation and use that is provided in visual form must also be available in audio form and, where appropriate, in tactile form, either directly or via assistive technology.
- PUT ON LIST
.
3-G - Human Language
When presentation of electronic documents supports it, the default human language of electronic documents can be programmatically determined.
DISCUSSION
- Not needed. purpose is so that 3rd party products can access.
- WOULD be required for content to go on a closed product but not the closed product.
- PUT ON LIST
.
3-H - Language of Parts
When presentation of electronic documents supports it, the human language of each passage or phrase in electronic documents can be programmatically determined.
Discussion
- this is about content - and IF CONTENT is CLOSED (Locked) then this would not apply the NOTES in 1.2-Gand F would apply
- GOES ON LIST
.
3-M - Reading Sequence
When the sequence in which information is presented affects its meaning, a correct reading sequence can be programmatically determined and sequential navigation of interactive components is consistent with that sequence.
editorial suggestion: When the sequence in which information is presented affects its meaning, a correct reading sequence must be programmatically determinable. The sequential navigation of interactive components must be consistent with that reading sequence.
Discussion
- If the purpose is to create a meaningful sequence of information for AT, it may not be necessary to require closed product displays to comply with this provision.
- perhaps a note like:
- For products with closed functionality the visual and (linear) audible presentation should match navigation
- PARTS OF THIS DONT APPLY BUT PARTS DO. CAN'T SOLVE THIS WITH LIST APPROACH
.
3-N - Link Purpose
On Web pages, it must be possible to determine the purpose of each link from the link text or the link text together with its programmatically determined link context.
- CONTENT RELATED.
- GOES ON THE LIST
.
3-O - Information and Relationships
Information and relationships conveyed through presentation can be programatically determined or are available in text, and notification of changes to these is available to user agents, including assistive technologies. For example:
- row and column headers are identified for data tables
- markup is used to associate data cells and header cells for data tables that have two or more logical levels of row or column headers.
- markup is used to identify section headings
- markup is used to identify form element labels
DISCUSSION
- GOES ON LIST
.
3-P - User Interface Components
For all user interface components, including form elements and those generated by scripts
- the name and role must be programmatically determined
- states, properties, and values that can be set by the user must be programmatically determined and can be programmatically set, and
- notification of changes to these items is available to user agents, including assistive technologies.
- For example: Frames must be titled with text that facilitates frame identification and navigation.

3-S Keyboard Operation
Version 1: All functionality of the product operable through the user interface must be operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes. The only exception is where the underlying function requires input that depends on the path of the user's movement and not just the endpoints.
- Note: This exception relates to the underlying function, not the input technique. For example, if using handwriting to enter text, the input technique (handwriting) requires path dependent input but the underlying function (text input) does not.
- Note: This does not forbid and should not discourage providing mouse input or other input methods, such as gestures, in addition to keyboard operation.
editorial suggestion for first paragraph in version 1: All functionality operable through the user interface must be operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes. The only exception is where the underlying function requires input that depends on the path of the user's movement and not just the endpoints.
- Some portable handheld products should not be required to be operated with a keyboard. Digital cameras and camcorders are examples.
DISCUSSION
- DOES NOT GO ON LIST
- NEEDS TO HAVE PHRASE ADDED TO FRONT: For products that have a keyboard or keyboard interface, or content that can be viewed on devices that have a keyboard,
.
3-U - AT Interoperability
On platforms that support AT interoperability, software that provides user interface objects must either use the accessibility services provided by platform software or other services to cooperate with assistive technologies when such services allow the software to meet the accessibility provisions of this standard. Using such services, software must:
DISCUSSION
- GOES ON LIST
3-W - Accessibility Services
Platform software shall provide access to a set of services that enable applications running on the platform to interact with other assistive technology sufficient to enable compliance with the "AT interoperability" and "User Interface Components" provisions.
DISCUSSION
- GOES ON LIST
.
1.2-E - Pass Through
Products that transmit or conduct information or communication must pass through cross-manufacturer, non-proprietary, industry-standard codes accessibility related data, translation protocols, formats or other information necessary to provide the information or communications in a usable format to people with disabilities.
Technologies which use encoding, signal compression, format transformation, or similar techniques must not remove information needed for access (including captions and supplemental audio), or must restore it upon delivery.
Firewalls, routers,gateways and other products that pass real-time voice communication must also pass real-time text communication signals (including mixed voice and real-time text) that are standard in the United States for that technology platform without distortion or error beyond 1%.
DISCUSSION
- NOT on our list
- NEEDS TO BE FIXED Whose is this.
2.1-E - Connector or Connection Language
If users can access and the user interface of a product through a non-standard user connection, they must also be able to control that functionality through a standard user connection using standard protocols for that type of input or output. If an adapter is required to convert a non-standard user connection on an E&IT device into a standard user connection, it shall be the responsibility of the E&IT vendor to offer such adapter.
Note: "Standard Connection" shall be deemed to be a connection that has been readily adopted by industry and is in common and current use. For example, while a serial port with a DB25 connector used for mouse input was a standard connection many years ago, it is no longer in common and current use on modern computers, and would no longer be considered a standard connection.
DISCUSSION
- GOES ON OUR LIST
RE CONTENT
we need to add the following notes to 1.2 F and 1.2-G respectively
1.2-F note
Note: Audio content that includes spoken content and that is closed due to DRM such that it cannot be rendered in visual form by AT and other players must include an visual form that can be.
1.2-g note
Note: Visual Content that includes text and that is closed due to DRM such that it cannot be rendered in audio form by AT and other players must include an audio form that can be.
