I agree that it's important to be flexible, but imprecise language should be avoided. The word "nature" to me, implies something that cannot be changed by the user - something's nature is inherent to it (e.g., human nature). Actually, I don't think alerts have severity - errors have severity. Alerts just let you know what the severity is. Proposed: "Allow the users to control the timing and presentation of alerts." - Ian -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel/Fax: +1 212 684-1814Received on Monday, 21 June 1999 08:10:14 GMT
