RE: ISO-TS-16071:2003 Issues (includes Table of Contents)

I think this is good.
Important also to say that for specific requirements, consult the iso official document.

    Oggetto: ISO-TS-16071:2003 Issues (includes Table of Contents)
    
    
    (At the end of this message is section 7 of the ISO-TS-16071:2003 table 
    of contents.  This is the portion that involves the guidelines. As this 
    represents far less than 10% of the document, it is my understanding 
    that reproducing this information is ok. Each guideline includes a 
    priority level (core, primary, and secondary) and an applicability 
    (operating systems (OS) or applications or both).

    ISO-TS-16071:2003 Issues
    
    (1) Currently ATAG 2.0 has ISO-TS-16071:2003-relative priority 
    checkpoints defined as:
    
    --
    These checkpoints can be met to one of three levels designated as 
    "application" in part 7.2 of ISO TS 16071:2003:
    
    Level 1: The authoring interface meets guidelines designated as "core" 
    in Part 7.2 of ISO TS 16071:2003.
    Level 2: The authoring interface meets guidelines designated as "core" 
    and "primary" in Part 7.2 of ISO TS 16071:2003.
    Level 3: The authoring interface meets guidelines designated as "core", 
    "primary", and "secondary" in Part 7.2 of ISO TS 16071:2003.
    --
    
    Whereas the current ATAG 2.0 reference is to the "application"-specific 
    guidelines in section 7.2 only. I propose that we widen the reference to 
    all of the "application"-specific guidelines in section 7 of the ISO 
    doc. The priority levels would then read:
    
    ---
    These checkpoints can be met to one of three levels, according to which 
    of the guidelines listed in Part 7 of ISO TS 16071:2003 the authoring 
    interface meets:
    
    Level 1: The authoring interface meets all of the "application" 
    guidelines designated as "core".
    Level 2: The authoring interface meets all of the "application" 
    guidelines designated as "core" or "primary".
    Level 3: The authoring interface meets all of the "application" 
    guidelines designated as "core", "primary", or "secondary".

    (2) In addition, ATAG 2.0 has some text in section 1.4.2 that attempts 
    to give an introduction to the ISO document. I propose including a list 
    of the 7.X table of contents items. This would be:
    
    - General guidelines
    - Assistive technologies
    - Keyboard-input configuration
    - Software control of pointing devices
    - Display fonts
    - Displays
    - Colour
    - Audio output
    - Errors and user notification
    - On-line documentation and help
    - Customization of user preferences
    - Window appearance and behaviour
    - Keyboard input focus
