So some comments on the ARIA charter at https://www.w3.org/2018/03/draft-aria-charter :
So one concern I've heard about these charters and that I probably share is that the ARIA charter says: For every platform with mappings in an Accessibility API Mapping specification, at least one implementation of 75% of the mappings being tested on that platform will demonstrate implementability on that platform. Multiple implementations of each platform are not required because some platforms have only one implementation. For features that are not platform-specific, passing test results in at least two different implementations will be documented to demonstrate implementability. This is a substantial weakening of the W3C's usual rules for demonstrating interoperability, and seems likely to be a bad precedent. I guess it seems OK to have only one implementation if there's really only going to be one implementation on that platform... but allowing it in general (i.e., seems less than ideal, and allowing only 75% of mappings to be implemented to count as success seems pretty bad. Also, the two references to a deliverable of the SVG working group when the SVG working group isn't currently chartered seems problematic. I think otherwise this seems fine. -David On Thursday 2018-07-12 16:06 +1000, James Teh wrote: > I (and others in the accessibility team) think we should support these > charters.
