Re: Understanding SC 2.4.8 ( LC-2798)

In G88, under Description, please refer to the text towards the end that
reads:
<quote>
It may also be helpful for the title to -
>Identify the site or other resource to which the Web page belongs
>Be unique within the site or other resource to which the Web page belongs.
</quote>
Now compare this, especially the first bullet above, with the Intent under
SC 2.4.8 that says:
"The intent of this Success Criterion is to provide a way for the user to
orient herself within a set of Web pages, a Web site, or a Web application
and find related information."

*** It seems that the title on a specific webpage can convey the larger
context (series of steps, drill down navigational scheme, etc.) using G88,
and therefore it can be considered as a sufficient technique to satisfy SC
2.4.8.
