RE: REF 2.4b - a second required success criteria

Maybe "large blocks of repetitive material" (instead of "text")?

Hmmmm

Good catch again.

Maybe something like 

"large, repetitive blocks of text (e.g. Page Headers) or links (e.g. nav bars)....."

Other things that people who can see pages basically ignore and that people who use screen readers would *like* to be able to ignore are header materils (with or without links) that appear at the top of each page-- this can be especially important if the header material includes one or more Flash movies, as seems increasingly common.

Have been looking at how our latest draft maps to other guidelines today and suggest that we extend this one a bit to include other types of content that should be skipped. How about:

#2 Users are able to skip over blocks of links that are greater than 7 (e.g. navigation bars, link lists, etc.) and non-readable text (e.g. ASCII art, lists of URIs, code samples, etc.) when reading with a synthesizer or when navigating using keyboard.

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