Item 3 on Monday's agenda

[Pete Brunet <brunet@us.ibm.com>]

Re agenda item 3, this has to do with
not understanding 10.13 <chart:data-label>.  Ingrid Halama from
Sun provided the following information.

For data points in a chart one can add
labels that show information about the data point as text. For example
you can display the value of the point as number.  Having this element
you now can give the text box a user-defined position, a background color,
a surrounding line color and such things. 

Data labels are not new in general.
It was already possible to have them for example with chart:data-label-number="value"
with ODF 1.1.  But the new ODF specification now allows for a complete
new text within the new label element. And to answer your question, yes
the text could be something different that is not contained in the chart
table data.

The new  possibility to have an
independent text in the data labels is not at all implemented in OpenOffice.org
so far. So also users that are able to see will not see them.

I'm assuming that there are no problems
with ODF, and that at some point a11y implementations will be able to expose
this information.
