Jason, My preference is for #2 ... I think your checkpoint 4.1 should be the first checkpoint, 1.1, in the guidelines ... it sorta sums up what we are really all about .... if I use "x" device to access the web, but most folks use "Y", I want the web to generally work with device "x" ... not only "Y" and when they make a "z" for some special group of folks, the web should generally work with "z" .... Comprehension and navigation apply irrespective of input/output "device" ... and address many disabilities that occur independently, or concurrent with disabilities that require need unique input/output devices addressed in Guideline 1 ... perhaps they could be combined, as you suggest, but they would end up with a lot more checkpoints than Guideline 1, and, as I suggested previously, there may be commonalities between your Guidelines 1 and Guidelines 3 about separating content/structure and presentation. Perhaps they need to be in both places .... Anne Anne L.
