👁️ @w3c AGWG (Accessibility Guidelines Working Group) Teleconference
15 Oct 2024 - draft minutes
"RESOLUTION: We will explore having a set of required provisions that is somewhat comparable to WCAG 2.2 A & AA and a set of provisions and assertions that can be used to build upon that through points, percentages, or predefined sets of provisions (modules)."
🦈 JAWS (only) NO MORE
"In 2017 I embarked on a journey to improve and open the reporting of issues with JAWS support for Web Standards.
I continued to work on this after leaving TPGi, until now…"

"Like the rest of the web platform, interoperability is key to accessibility support. It is safe to say at this time (September 2024) that the display of title attribute content on keyboard focus is not implemented interoperably."
Nice to see 17 years of my articles while at TPGi are now collected together:

Glad <dialog> focus is finally being implemented/defined in a reasonable way after a torturous years long, largely pointless, discussion.
“1. Make the dialog focusing steps look at sequentially focusable elements instead of any focusable element.
2. Make the dialog element itself get focus if it has the autofocus="" attribute set.
3. Make the dialog element itself get focus as a fallback instead of focus being reset to the body element.”
