Laura, Under the universal access here are some important concepts to highlight: 1. Markup to define equivalent relationships, examples include: * Short and long descriptions for images and other non-text content with text content * Captions for video and audio tracks 2. Navigation and Orientation support, examples include: * Headings (currently H1-H6) * Labels for form controls * Navigation bars * Pull down menus ---- Original message ---- >Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2007 08:25:48 -0500 >From: "Laura Carlson" <laura.lee.carlson@gmail.com> >Subject: Accessibility Advice on HTML 5 Design Principles >To: wai-xtech@w3.org, "Judy Brewer" <jbrewer@w3.org>, alfred.s.gilman@ieee.org >Cc: "Patrick H.
