RE: UAAG2 Action 852 to write IER for 1.1.2

Gah... a couple grammar fixes were needed...

-  [mobile] Brin is deaf. The video player she is using on her mobile phone displays a "CC" button in the control bar directly below the video when captions are available. She taps the button to toggle the captions on, so she can understand the video.

+1 for the rewording of Brin.

I agree with Greg's points.so the text would read:

Intent of Success Criterion 1.1.X:
Users need to be able to easily discover when authors have provided alternative web content that may be of interest to them so that they can decide whether to have it rendered (see 1.1.1). While the type of indicator is not prescribed, the success criterion does require that the indicator be placed with the rendered content that has the alternative, which rules out indicators in the status bar, etc. that do not clearly identify which content within a document has the alternative.  Examples of suitable indicators include outlines, adjacent icons, adjacent links, etc. As with any other feature of the user agent, the indicator itself must be accessible (e.g. be keyboard accessible, be zoomable, etc.)

Examples of Success Criterion 1.1.X:
- Chris is color blind. He does not use a screen reader or other assistive technologies, but sometimes has difficulty interpreting diagrams in which the author has used color alone to convey meaning (e.g. to label lines). Therefore, Chris likes to read long descriptions when the author has provided them. To let himself know when long descriptions are available, Chris sets a setting in his browser that places a "Description" link adjacent to any image with a long description. Chris clicks the link to open the long description in a new browser pane.
- Aosa is blind. When rendering a Web page using synthesized speech, the user agent generates an audible tone to signify that the word being read is an acronym, and Aosa can press the * key to hear the expansion. When the phrase being read is the Alt text for an image, another tone indicates that Aosa can press + to hear the long description.
-  [mobile] Brin is deaf. The video player she is uses on her mobile phone displays a "CC" button in the control bar directly below the video when captions are available. She taps the button to toggle the captions on so she can understand the video.

I have only one substantial issue with this: the mobile example reads "On her mobile phone, Brin touches a video, which displays the controls including the 'display caption' control." I understand the intent, but it reads as if saying it's okay for the use to have to query an item to find out whether it has alternative content. That is, of course, exactly the opposite of what this SC is requiring.

A few minor typos and grammatical errors:

1) delete "have" from "so that they can have decide whether".

2) ", this rules out indicators" would be better grammar with "which" instead of "this", or a semicolon instead of comma.

3) "clicks the link the open" should be "clicks the link to open".

4) and of course, as no one at our latest Face to Face can forget, take out the commas after each "e.g." :-)

    Thanks,
    Greg
