RE: BBC-WCAG2/UAAG2 comparison

Thanks Jan, this will be very useful to the group.  I have a couple of
comments to add marked as [jda]:

Repeated links to the same resource must be contained within the same link
[jda] This relates to H2: Combining adjacent image and text links for the
same resource

Labels must be placed close to the controls, and be laid out appropriately
[jda] This relates to understanding SC 3.3.2 Benefits " Field labels
located in close proximity to the associated field assist users of screen
magnifiers because the field and label are more likely to visible within
the magnified area of the page."

Where zoom is supported on the platform it must not be suppressed.  You
indicated this as indirectly related.
[jda] I feel this is directly related to SC 1.4.4 not just indirectly --
that was the intention when we wrote the BBC standards.

Standard operating system alerts must be used where available
[jda] This may relate to SCR18: Providing client-side validation and alert

Audio must not play automatically unless the user is made aware this is
happening or a pause/stop button is provided @Issue: WCAG2 addresses
control, but not auto-play:
[jda] I believe these are saying the same thing -- some of the WCAG
techniques for Silverlight and Flash talk about turning off auto play.

Best Regards,

Jonathan

Hi all,

I have attached a document that attempts to map the BBC mobile guidelines
to WCAG2 and UAAG2, where relevant.

I'm hoping that if we get permission from the BBC to use their techniques
that this document can help place them.

Unfortunately, I need to give regrets for today's meeting due to a
conflict.

Cheers,
Jan
