technology-supports-access issues summary Guideline 4.2 Ensure that user interfaces are accessible or provide an accessible alternative(s) http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/issuereports/technology-supports-access_issues.php This summary assumes that the proposals for GL 4.2, sent in an earlier message, are adopted. Overview of Issues + Addressed by appropriate selection of baseline 244, 1073, 1133, 1221, 1334, 1335 + Close: Alternate pages 972, 1060 + Close: Graceful degradation 463, 842, 855, 1419 + Close: Overcome by events 712, 821, 822, 899, 970, 971, 993, 1050 Appropriate selection of baseline: Issue 244: Keyboard access for devices that have no AT http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=244 Issue 1073: Baseline support / conformance / fallbacks http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1073 Issue 1133: Use static, rather than dynamic, content for critical parts of the Web site http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1133 Issue 1221: lack of support for Javascript in W3C technologies http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1221 Issue 1334: Principle 4: what is meant by "current technologies"? http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1334 Issue 1335: scripting should require alternative representation http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1335 These issues address concerns about what baseline WCAG2 was adopting. We should explain the decision to move the baseline definition out of the guidelines, and share the definition of baseline and (non-normative) guidance for choosing baselines to these submitters, and confirm that we can close the issues. Alternate pages: Issue 972: Don't encourage separate sites http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=972 Issue 1060: Do we require or permit alternative accessible pages? http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1060 We no longer say anything at all about alternate pages or sites, so we can close these issues. Graceful degradation: Issue 463: why list "required" technologies? http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=463 Issue 842: 4.2.3.2 should be level 1 or 2. http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=842 Issue 855: clarification on ".. can still access the resource" http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=855 Issue 1419: what is a degraded but usuable experience? http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1419 The definition of baseline describes graceful degradation by discussing the use of technologies beyond the baseline. Overcome by events: Issue 426: Development process v characteristics of accessible content http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=426 Issue 712: what constitutes sufficiently documenting required techs? http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=712 Issue 821: Reword SC L1 #2 for consistency with guideline http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=821 Issue 822: Level 2 SC is too vague http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=822 Issue 889: Move this guideline to principle 1 http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=889 Issue 970: Why single out "user interface" http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=970 Issue 971: Benefit sounds redundant http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=971 Issue 993: Focus on strict platform independency and flexible content delivery http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=993 Issue 1050: Comments and questions for technology-supports-access http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1050 Issue 1417: GL 4.2 hard to understand http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1417 Issue 1418: what are 'accessibility conventions of the mark-up' http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1418 Issue 1336: User agents: remove all "until" clauses and assume conforming UA? http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1336 The items discussed in these issues have been removed.
