Hello,
In his three emails, Eric Hansen suggested a lot of editorial changes
that would clear up and harmonize the Guidelines. I support most of
them.
Of the issues he raised, the following (in my opinion) were more
than editorial:
From [1]:
Issue #6: Checkpoints 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 need restructuring and
revision.
Issue #7: Break checkpoint 6.1 into two separate checkpoints - 6.1.A
and 6.1.B.
Issue #8. Checkpoint 6.1.A. should have "Relative Priority".
IJ: This is one of the issues identified in the last call
announcement.
Issues #9/#10: Restructuring of 6.1
Issue #11: Change "closed captions" to "captions" throughout the
document.
More minor:
- "Braille" or "braille"?
- Issue #13: Is braille accepted as a natural language?
- Is braille also haptic?
From [2]:
Issue #16. Eliminate the use of "continuous equivalent track".
Issue #17. Simplify checkpoint 2.5.
Issue #18. Handle "on the fly" auditory descriptions.
This is a proposed new checkpoint to mirror WCAG 1.3
Issue #30. Fix checkpoint 11.1.
Proposed relative priority
More minor:
- Issue #35. Reconsider the use of the term "table caption".
- Issue #37. Reconsider the use of the term "visual impairment".
From [3]:
Issue #44. Document must give greater emphasis to the differential
applicability of the guidelines to various classes of user agent,
especially assistive technologies
Ian: Probably not since resolved not to.
Issue #45. Some attention needs to be given to additional situations in
which the UA document is not applicable.
