In the current organization, it's not clear whether the relationship of the guidelines to the checklist is "part of" or "see also"; each has it's own title page (incl. status of this document) which suggests "see also" but there's no entry for the checklist on http://www.w3.org/TR/ nor http://www.w3.org/WAI/ Also... the link from the "How the Guidelines are organized" http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH/#Organization section to the checklist doesn't go thru the references section; that again suggests "part of". In any case, it's now clear to me that the checklist is more what I was after; for example: "7.1 Avoid using tables for layout. " http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH/wai-pageauth.html#tech-avoid-table-for-layout The admonitions against overuse of <font size> aren't as explicit, but there's some relevant stuff in there. -- Dan Connolly http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
