I took an ACTION [1] to reword section 3.5 Content navigation by content structure [2] of the Media Accessibility User Requirements document to avoid use of the word "DOM" as a synonym for "hierarchical" or "structural." I propose the following text: This is, of course, a hierarchical view of content. However, effective navigation of a multi-level hierarchy will require an additional control not typically available using current media players. This mechanism, which we are calling a "granularity-level control," will allow the user to adjust the level of granularity applied to "next" and "previous" controls. This is necessary because next and previous are too cumbersome if accessing every node in a complex hierarchy, but unsatisfactorily broad and coarse if set to only the top level of the hierarchy. Allowing the user to adjust the granularity level that next and previous apply to has proven very effective—hence the adjustable granularity level control. For your reference, the existing text is as follows: This is, of course, a DOM view of content. However, effective DOM-based navigation will require an additional control not typically available on current media players. This real-time control, which we are calling a "granularity-level control," will allow the user to adjust the level of granularity applied to "next" and "previous" controls. This is necessary because next and previous are too cumbersome if accessing every DOM element, but unsatisfactorally broad and coarse if set to only the top hierarchical DOM level. Allowing the user to adjust the DOM level that next and previous go to has proven very effective—hence the real-time granularity level control.
