<http://joeclark.org/access/webaccess/WCAG/bookmarks/bookmarks-040206a.html> Over the last months, in response to the fact that most WCAG WG members don't really surf the Web even though they write guidelines for it, I have added to my bookmarks many pages of interest in a few "suspect categories" that the Working Group tends to get completely wrong though lack of exposure. The idea was to provide examples the Working Group could look at, limiting the WG's habit of speculation. Those categories, somewhat abbreviated, include: AV(-only) Bad Sites Blink/marquee/strobe Bullets & icons CC-DX "Click here" Colour Backgrounds Confusable pairs Protan, deutan, tritan About colour deficiency Colour tools Failed redesigns Forms Horizontal scrolling iframes Illustrations Image-handling alt text Hixie test cases Misc Photos Rather the wrong idea Sitemaps Text-only, text as images Tables Typ(ography) Valid (sites) For everyone's benefit, and to indicate to the WAI politburo that I might actually provide interesting and unique resources from time to time, I did an export from Mozilla and a massive cleanup to make the links valid HTML. Character encoding is correct even though some non-ASCII characters were incorrectly saved in the bookmarks. (Mozilla uses nonstandard encoding.) That annoyance is livable, and not worth fixing. There are, by my count, 332 bookmarks there. This should be sufficient grist for the mill for a while, though I will occasionally update the results. Note that I have a file of other examples of tables waiting in the wings. Some links will have died; not all are in English; some are duplicates; most are bad examples of the topic under discussion, but some are good examples; the links are unannotated; and some "content" may cause offense to sensitive readers. Welcome to the Web; hope you like it here. <http://joeclark.org/access/webaccess/WCAG/bookmarks/bookmarks-040206a.html> -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org | <http://joeclark.org/access/> Author, _Building Accessible Websites_ | <http://joeclark.org/book/> Expect criticism if you top-post
