RE: REF 2.4b - a second required success criteria

I agree that this is really important.  I'd propose a small editorial
change in the wording as well as a slight change in the actual criterion
(I'd like the requirement to be triggered when any group of links
includes 7 or more links, rather than just 8 or more...):
 
Proposed rewording (Gregg's original proposal is below for reference):
 
"#2 Users are able to skip over navigational bars or other groups of
seven or more links when reading with a synthesizer or navigating using
keyboard.

REF 2.4b


 

Suggest a second required success criteria for success of this extended
checkpoint.

 

"#2 Users are able to skip over navigational bars or other blocks of
links that are greater than 7 when reading with a synthesizer or
navigating using keyboard.
