Step 4.c

Dear all, 

The way step 4.c is currently worded is perhaps a little hazy, as it does not clearly state that if a proper conforming alternate version has been provided we should assess it, in place of the web page it is provided for - in line with the WCAG 2.0 guidance. 

The current check states "Check that each web page and web page state in the selected sample that does not conform to WCAG 2.0 at the target conformance level has a conforming alternate version.  For each of the web pages and web page states in the sample (selected in Step 3: Select a Representative Sample) that does not satisfy any of the five WCAG 2.0 conformance requirements at the conformance target defined in Step 1.b: Define the Conformance Target, check that it has at least one conforming alternate version as defined in WCAG 2.0."

Which sounds a little like check the web page, then check its conforming alternate version - which isn't strictly right.

So, to clarify I would suggest the following replacement wording:

"For each web page associated with a conforming alternate version, check the conforming alternate version (rather than the web page) satisfies each of the WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria of the target conformance level."

Interested to hear thoughts / comments.

Very best regards

Alistair
