Subject: Re: Minimize user errors

Good Morning,

Thanks for the suggestion. I think the intention of the first wording, which was part of the original reword document it to to say:

  *   If an automatic correction is known to be reliable and possible, the user agent, API etc should go ahead and make the correction.
  *   If the correction is not know to be reliable and possible then suggestions are provided (which the user can choose from)
Does that make sense?

Does this mean that when you say "Otherwise, if suggestions for correction are known, then the suggestions are provided to the user…"  someone has to manually supply the correction, as that is what it now sounds like?

Would it be possible to just say:

The recommended change and the inclusion of the definition makes sense to me.

Hi folks

I made a small change to https://rawgit.com/w3c/coga/master/extension/minimize-errors..html<https://rawgit.com/w3c/coga/master/extension/minimize-errors.html>

Our addition now reads:

When an input error is detected an automatic correction is made where it is known to be reliable and possible.

and I added the definition for
known to be reliable and possible as : Identified in the WCAG techniques as possible to reliably correct

Does this seem Ok to the group?

If yes can we approve this Sc?


All the best
