5. NEW ITEM: Improved Table Accessibility submission for Stage 1
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201305/msg00091.html (Hudson, 28 May)
Note: Follows from this previous discussion:
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201303/msg00085.html (Hudson, 29 March)
Scott gave an overview;
1. add 'rowheader' as child of colspec element.
2. allow @scope on entry element.
3. allow @headers on entry elements.
4. Since there is no @summary in CALS, the table's summary should be allowed in a 'caption'.
DocBook has already added these to its table model; we'd like to ask CALS to adopt these as well. These help identify row headers for accessibility - screen readers.
- Kris; I see two issues
1 do we want this?
2. are we past time for stage 1?
- Nancy, DickH, and ChrisN spoke in favor of adding it to 1.3, especially since until now there had not been an official 'deadline' for submitting items, and in any case this item was subitted a while ago, it just hadn't been up for discussion until now. TC agreed to approve this for inclusion in 1.3 (with the concerns expressed in the following discussion).
- Kris agreed, and suggested that the TC vote to end acceptance of 1.3 proposals after this one, which the TC did (see below).
- There was considerable discussion of the proposal's use of a 'caption' element. Since HTML already uses a 'caption' element, we don't want to confuse authors by having conflicting uses, or different uses, for an already-familiar item. The issue is that in HTML, a caption is always expected to be rendered, and this use of caption would only be 'rendered' as part of accessibility' i.e. for a screen reader. It definitely has the potential to confuse authors.
Resolution: continue this discussion next week.
Kris moved to no longer accept any Stage 1 proposal for DITA 1.3, seconded by Stan, approved by TC.
