COMMENT #38

1) Document Abbreviation: W2


2) Item Number: 3.2.2


3) Part of Item: 


4) Comment Type: T


5) Comment: 3.2.2 says no change of context "beyond moving to the next field in tab order" - for non-visual browsers, thes may mean they miss out on important aspects of the content without even knowing about them. Very dnagerous!


6) Proposed Change:  Drop the words that are in the brackets.

COMMENT #39

1) Document Abbreviation: W2


2) Item Number: Appendix D


3) Part of Item: 


4) Comment Type: T


5) Comment: Several WCAG 1.0 checkpoints that are still very important for some people with disabilities are missing from WCAG 2.0:- 

1.5 (text equivalents for image map links) - important for people with some learning difficulties (some people are text oriented, others are graphics oriented)

3.4 (relative units) - important for visually impaired people (and others) with varying display resolutions

5.5 (data table summaries - describing the table structure) - important for screen-reader users

10.5 (separating links visually) - acknowledged as important for some people with cognitative disabilities

13.8 (front loading) - important for many people with reading difficulties

14.1 (clear language) - important for many people with reading difficulties; also the related SC are now Level 3 (cf P1 in WCAG 1.0)

14.3 (consistent presentation) - important for many people with reading difficulties, visual impairments, and cognitative disabilities

I acknowledge that some of these may not be machine testable, but they are human (consensus) testable.


6) Proposed Change:  Add these Checkpoints back in as WCAG 2.0 SC.
