Dear Joshue O Connor, Thank you for your comments on the 17 May 2007 Public Working Draft of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/).

Please see below for the text of comments that you submitted and our resolutions to your comments. Each comment includes a link to the archived copy of your original comment on http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/, and may also include links to the relevant changes in the WCAG 2.0 Editor's Draft of May-October 2007 at http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-20071102/ Thank you for your time reviewing and sending comments. Though we cannot always do exactly what each commenter requests, all of the comments are valuable to the development of WCAG 2.0. Regards, Loretta Guarino Reid, WCAG WG Co-Chair Gregg Vanderheiden, WCAG WG Co-Chair Michael Cooper, WCAG WG Staff Contact On behalf of the WCAG Working Group ---------------------------------------------------------- Comment 1: Comments from Joshue O Connor Source: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007May/0145.html (Issue ID: 1938) ---------------------------- Original Comment: ---------------------------- This entry combines two form submissions: 1.) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007May/0145.html Document: QR Item Number: Guideline 1.1: Provide text alternatives for any non-text ... Part of Item: Comment Type: editorial Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change): Decoration, Formatting, Invisible: If non-text content is pure decoration, or used only for visual formatting, or if it is not presented to users, then it is implemented such that it can be ignored by assistive technology. 2.) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007May/0146.html Document: QR Item Number: Guideline 1.1: Provide text alternatives for any non-text ... Part of Item: Comment Type: general comment Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change): Media, Test, Sensory: If non-text content is multimedia , live audio-only or live video-only content, a test or exercise that must be presented in non-text format , or primarily intended to create a specific sensory experience , then text alternatives at least identify the non-text content with a descriptive text label. (For multimedia, see also Guideline 1.2.) Proposed Change: Media, Test, Sensory: If non-text content is multimedia , live audio-only or live video-only content, a test or exercise that must be presented in non-text format , or primarily intended to create a specific sensory experience , then text alternatives _must_ at least identify the non-text content with a descriptive text label. (For multimedia, see also Guideline 1.2.) --------------------------------------------- Response from Working Group: --------------------------------------------- Success criteria describe the state of the content, rather than describing what the author must do. So changing "it is implemented" to "it is to be implemented" or inserting "must" is inappropriate. We have changed the wording of the fourth bullet as follows: Decoration, Formatting, Invisible: If non-text content is pure decoration, or used only for visual formatting, or if it is not presented to users, then it is implemented in a way that it can be ignored by assistive technology.
