No, I don't think applicability covers this case. Suppose you recognize the "alt" attribute and it's text, which you can render. But you don't. I don't think that that's covered by the applicability clause. Nothing in UAAG 1.0 (right now) requires you to render "alt" text through the user interface. The fact that user agents do is a good thing. But for future languages, they might not. - Ian > that is lynx's path to conformance, is it not? > > gregory > > -------------------------------------------------------- > He that lives on Hope, dies farting > -- Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack, 1763 > -------------------------------------------------------- > Gregory J.
