What expertise does the WAI Group, much less the W3C have, in determining the cognitive capabilities of a person? To say, "Make sure that your audience can understand your content," is kind of silly, because who in their right might mind is going to publish content that can't be comprehended by their users? It is a rule for writing good content, not a rule for making content accessible on the Web. It has more to do with good journalism than good accessibility. Perhaps WCAG should be divided into Guidelines, which can be measured and tested, and Suggested Best Practices, which can only be tested by a person. Then you could put a rule such as this into the latter group. The primary Guidelines should only refer to and deal with W3C technologies. ---------- Randal Rust Covansys Corp. Columbus, OH
