Back on August 29 I attempt to generalize and extend the quick tips card,
I just found it unsent in my out mailbox.
Here is my attempt to eliminate the HTML-specific references; I hope
this or something similar will apply to WCAG 2.0/Harvey
For Complete Guidelines [& Checklist?]:
<http://www.w3.org/WAI>www.w3.org/WAI [WCAG 2.0 eventually]
* Images & animations: Textually describe each visual using the
appropriate attribute.
* Image maps. Use a textual description for each region having multiple
hot-spots.
* Multimedia. Provide captioning and transcripts of audio, and
descriptions of video.
* Hypertext links. Use text that makes sense when read out-of-context.
For example, avoid "click here."
* Page organization. Use headings, lists, and consistent structure. Use
CSS for layout and consistent style where possible.
* Graphs & charts. Summarize or use an attribute linking to a long
textual description.
* Scripts, applets, & plug-ins. Provide alternative content in case
active features are inaccessible or unsupported.
* Frames. Use an alternative element with meaningful titles.
* Tables. Make line-by-line reading sensible. Summarize.
* Check your work. Validate. Use tools, checklists, and guidelines
developed for the applications you use.
