[TECHS] CSS links to Guidelines as per Action item

Hi Wendy 

 

Here re is my action item from this morning's  Techniques call. There are
some links that can be added easily and are noted below. I've also suggested
editor notes and new bugs that would have had to been filed later anyway.
The exercise dovetails well with the End to End work and shows some of the
holes we still have between the Tech docs and the Guidelines.

_________________________________________________________________

 

2.1 (use span for Drop Caps - not all fonts available in User agents) 

 

It links to: 

A) Principle 1: "Content must be perceivable"        

B) Principle 4: "Content must be robust enough to work with current and
future technologies." 

 

Add editor note to CSS 2.1:  "There is currently no guideline or SC
currently to link to" 


New Bug for CSS 2.1: 

- there are no Guidelines and no success criterion that would be a direct
hit, only the top level Principles above.

- Is this is a "repair technique" because user agents aren't providing
enough fonts or do we need to provide a list of good font families to
webmasters or do we need to add a SC in the Guidelines about legit
limitations of agents?

2.2 Accessing alternative representations of content

Principle 1: "Content must be perceivable"  

 

Add editor note to CSS 2.2:  "There is currently no guideline or SC
