The following is a proposal for HTML techniques. I will implement the proposal in a draft unless there is objection from the group. There will still be room for debate of the proposal in the context of the next draft. WCAG 1.0 Checkpoint 3.1 [1] says "When an appropriate markup language exists, use markup rather than images to convey information." The take from WCAG 2.0 Guideline 4.2 [2] is "Any programmatic user interface components of the content conform to at least the default set of conformance requirements of the UAAG 1.0 at Level A". I propose to create a technique speaking to this in the programmatic objects section [3] of HTML techniques.
