I agree with you that the overly "chatty" tone is not appropriate to this document (and what's more, could lead to a greater change of this technical document being rejected by the W3C membership). I propose the following: The creation of one or more "The ____'s Guide to WCAG 2.0", where ____ is a noun such as "web developer", "graphic artist", "policymaker", "young person", and so on. I even volunteer to edit one or more of these annotated supporting documents. (This does not mean that our documents shouldn't be CLEAR and SIMPLE -- Chaz and I both agree with that. There is a difference between "simple" and "chatty tone".) --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Accessibility - W3C - Integrator Network Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
