Yesterday I asked Gez if Roberto's proposed solution for Guideline 3.1 Level 3 Success Criterion (to make the SC read "A mechanism for finding the expanded form of abbreviations" is available, with a note indicating that both acronyms and initialisms are types of abbreviation) would work: John: <blockquote> This seems a cleaner solution than adding "initialisms" to the SC. The Glossary would define all three terms (abbreviation, acronym, initialism). The Guide would then point to appropriate general and technology-specific techniques. Gez, would this address your concerns? </blockquote> Tgez: <q>Yes; my initial concern was only with the proposed definition.</q> Thanks very much, Gez. I'll forward this to Team B, which is working on proposals for GL 3.1. John "Good design is accessible design." Dr. John M.
