Structural/substantive issue The specification seems to take no account of situations where in fact all user agents relevant to a given baseline offer functionality that the guidelines are requiring of authors. Where this is the case (for example, SVG user agents generally provide a mechanism to pause any animation independently of the content, and in SVG tiny it is not possible to provide the functionality in content anyway) the guidelines should take it into account. I propose that the baseline section be reworked, to incorporate this type of situation. Perhaps the most robust way of specifying this would be to explicitly relate UAAG requirements to WCAG requirements, and note that where there are (some expression for most or all) user agents for the baseline which meet a given UAAG requirement the corresponding WCAG requirement need not be met. Note that the proportion of user agents for which this needs to be true should be at least as high, and probably higher than that which is reasonable to justify the use of a particular baseline in the first place. -- Charles McCathieNevile, Opera Software: Standards Group hablo español - je parle français - jeg lærer norsk chaals@opera.com Try Opera 9 ASAP! http://opera.com
