I, not being a native speaker in english, find it most of the time more than puzzling, but pretty darn hard to understand, much less follow, the discussions about accessibility issues in the HTML5 group. Especially for those two points you mention (text alternative and summary).

In a way, I’m glad that even natives are puzzled. I feel less lonely…

Fortunately, some good people took on their time to summarize the problem, here: http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/SummaryForTABLE

It’s not yet completely clear, but at least all the info is in one place. Phew.

Lachlan,

I have similar questions. Here are a couple sources, although most of the information I have gotten is through talking with people.

The “shadow dom” is mentioned in the minutes from the 21 August 2009 Canvas Accessibility meeting.

T.V. Raman wrote about Canvas vs SVG on March 9, 2009.

The primary place for this discussion is the public-canvas-api mailing list. They are meeting on Fridays and minutes are published soon after.

As much as I’d love to make CANVAS accessible, giving it a DOM sounds like it’d just make it into SVG… So why not just use SVG and work on making sure *it* is as accessible as possible?

Not necessarily expecting you to have the answers, Wendy, but I’d not heard folks talking about DOMifying CANVAS before. Got some links for future reading?

Thanks!
