Re: usability testing notes - RE: WSTF Agenda for 25 October 2004

Shawn,
Was wondering about the page we discussed at Friday's call- the one with + signs  in the links. 
(http://www.w3.org/2004/09/wai-nav/8-gr.html)
Normally in other menus I have seen, the plus sign is a link and so is the text adjacent to it.
Is selecting the plus link and the adjacent text link supposed to produce the same effect?
 
But on the WAI page under discussion, the plus sign is part of the link. So I wonder what is the purpose of the plus sign?To me it just appears like a link and selecting it takes me to the next level and so forth. Interestingly, WinEyes does not  announce the plus sign but just reads the link.
