General
* Added Eric Hansen as co-editor.
* Harmonize how checkpoints use graphical user interface or
graphical viewport for applicability.
Abstract/Introduction
* In abstract, more info about target of guidelines.
Conformance
Implemented resolutions of [7]28 September teleconf as follows:
* To section 3.2: Modifications to Note: "Note: Some software may
not conform to this document but still be accessible to some
users
with disabilities. Conformance is expected to be a strong
indicator of accessibility, but it is neither a necessary nor
sufficient condition for ensuring the accessibility of software."
* Deleted old applicability provisions 1 and 4.
* Added new section on labeled sets (3.4) of checkpoints per
resolution of [8]28 September teleconference
* Used the term "subject" consistently in section on conformance.
* Added to section on applicability checkpoints (3.5):
+ "For each content types label in a claim, all of the
corresponding checkpoints apply."
+ (In exception provisions): "The checkpoint refers explicitly
to graphical user interfaces or viewports and the subject
only has an audio or tactile user interface or viewports. "
* Added requirement for label to well-formed claim section.
* Tightened up definition of applicability.
* Added Multimedia label to sample claim.

Guidelines
* Guideline 2: Added note that content is expected to conform to
WCAG 1.0.
* Guideline 4: Added labels to identify checkpoints that relate to
content accessibility.
* Guideline 6: Changed title to avoid some possible ambiguity (per
Marja suggestion).
* Guideline 8: Added some prose to explain orientation.
Checkpoints
* 1.1: Removed applicability statement.
* 1.3: Removed applicability statement. Changed "standard keyboard
API" to "standard API for the keyboard" to avoid potential
(though
unlikely) confusion.
* 1.5: Some editori changes based on [9]comments from Eric Hansen.
* 2.1, 2.3: Changes based on [10]suggestions from Eric resolved per
[11]28 Sep teleconf.
* 2.6: Editorial change based on [12]observation by Jon Gunderson.
* 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.8: Modified per [13]proposal from Ian as
resolved
at [14]12 Sept telecon.
* 3.7, 3.8: Editorial changes. For 3.7, use singular voice. For
3.8,
clarified that the refresh impulse is coming from the client, not
the server. Thus, new content is not "available" (i.e., a clue
from the server). Instead, the user may retrieve new content at
regular intervals (the checkpoints says "author-specified content
refreshes").
* 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.9: Modified per [15]proposal from Ian as
resolved
at [16]12 Sept telecon.
* 4.7: Minor editorial changes.
* 4.15: Clarified that user must be able to select and apply style
sheets.
* 4.16, 4.17: Changed per [17]proposal from Ian.
* 4.19: Modified per [18]14 Sep teleconf.
* 4.20: New checkpoint added per [19]14 Sep teleconf.
* 6.1: Deleted UAAG 1.0 and ATAG 1.0 references per [20]proposal
from Ian.
* 7.5: Changed per [21]14 Sep teleconf.
* 7.6: Made changes prescribed at [22]26 Sep teleconf. Added three
HTML elements to informative list of important html elements:
applet, link, iframe. Made some editorial changes suggested by
Gregory.
* 8.1: Minor editorial changes.
* 8.2, 8.3: Distinguish minimum requirements for graphical
viewports
from others.
* Deleted old 8.5 (in favor of 7.7) per [23]26 Sep teleconf
* 9.1: Added note afterwards and techniques to talk about
persistence per [24]28 September teleconf.
* 11.1: Removed Note after checkpoint and moved min requirement to
the checkpoint itself.
