Response in JRG: <NEW> >8.4 Make available to the user an "outline" view of content > composed of labels for important structural > elements (e.g., heading text, table titles, > form titles, etc.). ></NEW> > JRG: I think the use of important structural elements makes this checkpoint clearer. I think it should provide an outline of all "block" level elements. But I don't know if there is any common understanding of block level. It should be more of a summary of the document, than a tree view of the document. Although a tree view that is confgurable would be the ideal I think in this case. In the case of configuration for XML the user agent would need to enumerate the elements to the user for them to select which ones should be part of the outline view. There may also be a need to provide additional information on the rendered elements, like what is the size of the content for a particular element.
