Assignments for GL 3.1

Hi, All.

We need to review the existing techniques for GL 3.1 and edit/revise
them as appropriate. We also need to draft new techniques and tests as
needed to ensure that there is at least one sufficient technique for
each of the five SC in this guideline. We also need to recommend how to
close open issues logged against the SC.

The table of GL 3.1 Last Call Issues is at
http://trace.wisc.edu/wcag_wiki/index.php?title=GL_3.1_Last_Call_Issues.
For each SC, the table lists open issues and describes the status of
techniques.

I'd like to assign the SC to members of Team B as follows:
SC 3.1.1 and3.1.2 (natural language and changes in natural language):
Yvette, Roberto Scano
SC 3.1.3 (words used in unusual or restricted way): Bengt, John, Lisa
SC 3.1.4 (abbreviations): Loretta
SC 3.1.5 (readability/supplemental content): John

Below I've listed the SC together with links to the 23 November drafts
of the appropriate How to Meet documents. Use these for reference as you
work-no need to spend time duplicating work that's already been done and
approved!! (Of course you may feel that it's necessary to modify these
documents. Please focus on what you consider essential things!!

SC 3.1.1 (identifying primary natural language): Yvette and Roberto
Scano

There are links from the How to Meet doc to a number of
technology-specific techniques.
SC 3.1.2 Changes in natural language: Yvette and Roberto Scano
How to Meet SC 3.1.2:

ang-id
The Techniques section lists a number of technology-specific techniques.
It also includes a link to the technique Identifying primary natural
language, which should be a sufficient technique for SC 3.1.1. The
technique for identifying language changes (for SC 3.1.2) may need to
repeat much of the information from the "primary language" technique,
but adapt it to the context of this SC.

Note: there's been at least an oral suggestion that SC 3.1.2 should be
reworded to remove the word "foreign." The idea would be for the SC to
addresses language changes within the content, e.g., "Changes of natural
language within the content can be programmatically determined."


SC 3.1.3 words used in an unusual or restricted way: Bengt, John, Lisa
