This document appears to have successfully incorporated the feedback we gave you on the Requirements Note. Thank you very much. Al /chair, PFWG PS: You asked us to help you respond to a comment you received from Sam Hartmans, with accessibility reasoning. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-usable-authentication/ 2008Aug/0003.html Kenny Johar looked at this and wants clarification from Sam before responding. Janina Sajka made the following good point: The sonicon for change in "security sensitivity" needs to be timely. But what defines timely is not the visual display but the change in the severity or sensitivity of potential system responses to potentially-erroneous user input. So what you should do is define (in abstract terms) the event as the change in input exposure to risk or hazard. Then tie prompt announcement of this in visual and auditory media directly to that state change, not daisy-chain the timing of one off the other. Both the auditory and visual displays need to be prompt in announcing elevated-risk states. Not that they need to be strictly aligned in start time. Where possible the start-time alignment should be achieved as well. Let's continue that discussion on public-usable-authentication@w3.org and not have PFWG _consensus_ in the loop to slow resolution.
