RE: programmatically determined

john  
the  phrase "user-agent-supported"   is an adjective along with publicly
documented 
 
so if i rearranged the words as you suggest -  this and other sentences fall
apart. 
 
this one becomes determined by software from data provided in a publicly
documented and manner  supported by user-agents

I hadn't remembered quite such significant edits, but I think it's OK. I'd
like to suggst a slight editorial tweak for readability:
 
change "user agent supported manner" to "manner supported by user agents" in
the text of the definition.
 
Change the Note to read "Supported by user agents means ..."
 
These do not affect the substance of either the definition or the note. But
"user agent supported"  is hard to read and understand.

is this what we came up with for PD today?
 
tried to pull it together from our discussion
 
removed standard
removed free
 
 
programmatically determined 

determined by software from data provided in a publicly documented and
user-agent supported manner. 

Note: Publicly documented here means that documents are available in a free
and accessible manner to the public, including availability on the Web. 

Note: User-agent supported here means that user agents and assisted
technologies support the method for extracting and presenting this
information. One of the factors that should be considered before adding a
technology to a baseline would be the availability of affordable user agents
and assisted technologies which support the technology.
