RE: Some minor adjustments of criteria

Hi
 
We went over the first two comments in our phone call today, but unless I
suddenly fell asleep and missed something, I think we didn't finish
discussion on 2.4 due to lack of time. It's not in my minutes!
 
Can someone clarify if the last comment was finalized?
 
regards, Karen Mardahl

Subject: Some minor adjustments of criteria



Hate to be a thorn in the side but I still think the success criteria for
guidelines 1.5 should start "At least one" (vs "All").  As it stands now, I
think we over constrain the developer.   The tool does not need to provide
the feature everywhere; just in enough places to allow a user to
successfully author content. 

Also criteria for 1.4 should not imply only select, cut, copy and paste need
to be supported.  Any service (such as print, email, etc) that is provided
for the element should be similarly accessible. We might want to edit the
criteria from "In any element hierarchy..." to "In any presentation of any
element hierarchy..."   The underling model should not be required to
support these behaviors, just viewers and editors. 

For criteria for 2.4 I think we need to broaden the last phrase ("... must
always conform to WCAG") to something like: "... literally (as stored) must
conform to WCAG or conform to WCAG as generated (inserted/added) in the Web
content".  Some content may not conform as stored/distributed, but will be
massaged as inserted by the tool. Only the resulting content need be WCAG
conformant.
