COGA SC rewrite

Hi all,

Based on some discussion in the last thread on SCs being testable (and 
EAs comments about having the time to do this work..), I had a crack at 
turning the current suggested list of COGA SCs into more 'testable' 
language.

Comments, brickbats etc welcome.

Success Criterion.

1. *Enable adaptability:* Ensure that all UI components can be 
resized,re-ordered or removed.

2. *Timed events:* The controls for expanding or canceling any timed 
events are discoverable, clear and focusable.

JOC: I'm not sure if this can be a SC. There is an existing SC that 
covers this (2.2.1) there could be a requirement to do it in a way that 
is customizable via some user preference?

3. *Structure content*: Use a clear heading structure and/or mark up 
suitable page regions and sections.

JOC: Not sure if this can be a new SC. 1.3.1 obviously relevant here.

4. *Visual affordances:* Use a common/established visual/symbolic 
toolkit to describe the function of various UI components.


5. Use a clear writing style:

JOC: Very hard to test, context dependent.

6. *Alternative preference:* If an accessible alternative is present, 
ensure that it is discoverable and has a high level of visual affordance.

7. Be predictable:

JOC: Don't know if this can be a new SC.

8. *Rapid feedback:* Provide feedback quickly and within the context of 
use.


9. Help the user understand the content

JOC: Don't know of that can be an SC. Hard to test.

10. *Complete and check:* Provide an accessible 'check and complete' 
mechanism for your page content.

11. *Attention aid:* Provide an accessible help mechanism in order to 
focus the users attention on the task at hand to ensure completion.
