Re: [office-accessibility] Requests for updates to section 3

[Richard Schwerdtfeger <schwer@us.ibm.com>]

3.1.3.1

- Should say something about list structure whereas indentation should be clearly represented in the document content and not through the use of presentation styling. An indented child should be in the subtree of the of the parent bullet when parsed. See section 4.2.2.

- Should say something about page breaks

- Table headings, <table:table-header-rows>, once created should be repeated on each page and be conveyed in the document structure.

3.1.3

- Should make a comment about the fact that ODF 1.1 does not support tables in presentations. If the off applicaton wishes to create a table it should may treated as an embedded ODF spreadsheet and saved as such.

3.2 Alternative Text

We need to talk about alternative text for image map elements. This must be stored in <svg:title>. svg:title will be used as the hyperlink text. <svg:description> is only used if you want to add lengthy additional help text to describe what the link will do.

Alternative text (short and long) may be entered through the use of a dialog.

General:
Please look at section 4 and see if there are additional discussion points you can bring in to augment section 3. Captions, etc.
