Hi, there is a very large glossary. Having it come before the main content suggests to the reader that it is critical to understand all the terms - and for the reader familiar with them already, it just makes it more annoying to skip through to the content. It would be helpful to move the glossary to follow the principal content. Yes, there are links in the Table of Contents, but people often try to read documents without skipping through them. Many terms in the glossary are not used in the document (or only used to define other unused terms) and should be removed: activation behaviour desktop focus event graphical document keyboard accessible landmark live region managed state nemeth braille ontology operable owned element owning elementroot wai-aria node sub-document taxonomy valid idref Some terms should be removed although they are used in the document: Assistive technologies This is used once in the abstract and once in the text in an informative note. In both cases the document *should* use "user agent". Class The definition given is a common one, but the term is used in many different ways in the document making the glossary entry actively misleading. Perceivable This is used once in the document, in its standard english sense, and does not need to be in the glossary. Relationship This is used twice in the document, in its standard english sense and does not need to be in the glossary. Semantics The definition of semantics is a standard meaning, and in addition the only time the term is used in the document it has a different, more specialised, but still common meaning. Widget This is used once in the document. If the term needs definition, it should be replaced by a word or phrase that does not need a glossary entry. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathie Nevile - web standards - CTO Office, Yandex chaals@yandex-team.ru - - - Find more at http://yandex.com
