Response from the Working Group
================================
This means "indicating that something will happen or has already
happened". For example, using color to indicate that a link will open
in a new window or that a database entry been updated successfully.
"Prompting a response" refers to a use of color that would indicate
that the user should do something. For example, a Web page could use
highlighting on form fields to indicate that a required field had been
left blank.
