No problem. Do you want me to just edit the document or do you want me to
send you the corrections in a list. I've done the latter. It would take me
30 minutes or less to edit in the changes and send you an updated document.

Terrific! I wish you were in other working groups I am involved with.

I probably won't look at these until tomorrow AM - been a long day. This
one fills a lot of holes.

Cheers,

Rich

Subject: Re: [office-accessibility] proposal



While we are on Chieko's proposal, the defaullt accessibleName for drawing
objects should be the actual name ODF assigns should the author forget.
<svg:title> would override this. <svg:description> is if course the
longdesc.

I am following up on Matt King's use cases and investigating having either
a draw:connectedBy attribute (we could also use the name draw:flowsTo per
ATK. The problem is that if you are on an object you what to know what
associated connectors you have. Currently, you get the glue information
from the connector itself. Logically, I would believe we would want to know
what object we were on and then assess the list of connectors glued to it
and follow a path. I have a person in my team looking at model-based
authoring tools for accessibility and I will discuss this with him.

We will also need a keyboard navigation override scheme. Currently, Open
Office and Workplace follow a last object added scheme and tabbing starts
from the first node added to the next subsequent node added and so on. This
is like PowerPoint.

We have some options here: 1:

- we can use tabindex but they are difficult to maintain, or
- we can use nextFocus which has advantages beause then you don't have to
keep track of actual numbers.This is in XHTML2.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xhtml2-20050527/mod-hyperAttributes.html#s_hyperAttributesmodule

nextFocus takes an IDREF

- SVG also has focusable attribute similar to focustraversable as Peter I
am sure remembers from Java
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/interact.html#focusable-attr I am not sure
that we would want to skip navigation of presentation objects.

Personally I would opt for nextFocus seeing as all the objects do have an
id reference.

I envision having two navigation schemes - following the tab order using
the default focus navigation mechanism or by having the user agents
enumerate the connection options and letting the user slect the next object
to receive focus.

Comments?

I'm also in favor of accepting Chieko's for now.

I think we need to fix the things that must be fixed today first. Once
we have essential parity, we can go for multimedia and the kind of
diferentiation that can raise the bar for accessibility. But, let's not
try to push that through too fast. Let's do it deliberately building
broader consensus as we go.
