Review Open Action Items
4. ODF Accessibility Guidelines for ODF 1.2
- See action items below
- Should we provide any direction on animations?
5. ODF 1.2 Draft 6 http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/download.php/25268/OpenDocument-v1.2-draft6.odt - requirements to the TC
- Need an updated spec from the TC.
- From Hiro's review
- Do we need a table caption reference? <table:table text:caption-id="table1caption" table:name="Table1" table:style-name="Table1">
- For autotable generation and table headers: What text do we need to for table headers in the spec? Currently we can put a table header in.

Action Items for ODF Accessibility Guidelines for 1.2

Group Actions

• Modify next version of accessibility guidelines to ensure applications respond to system font and color settings.
• Add wording to the next revison of the accessibilty guidelines to allow control of the animation rate of
  images in a presentation
• Modify accessibility guidelines to state how common field attributes (section 6.7 of the ODF 1.2 spec.) should be supplied to the AT. The field attributes would
  indicate whether something were a boolean, gregorian date, etc.

Janina actions: create new wording for reload delay (section 3.13.2) which would allow user agents to control the reload delay and to state the
WCAG requirements for content refreshing to prevent seizures. We need wording to provide control over flashing Here are some related links

• http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/#general-thresholddef
• http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20060427/#seizure-does-not-violate

Pete Brunet: Provide guidelines as to how to supply tracking change information to ATs.

Hiro: Provide wording in the to adress dynamic, asynchronous updates There are several topics in the specs related to “asynchronous automatic update” of contents or  values. Automatic updates should be carefully presented to assistive technologies through accessibility APIs. Documents are becoming more dynamic- async updates - some examples: linked tables, database ranges, scritping, text sections, DDE connecdtions. 

Action Items: Group

• Hiro to provide more information on agenda item 5 related to table headers
• Rich/Peter find deadlines for ODF 1.2
• Hiro - Write proposed modification to 8.1.1 to add caption-id for table, and 9.2.15.2 to include tables - <ref name="common-draw-caption-id-attlist"/>
