Re: New Technique for 2.4.5, Supplementing link text with the title attribute

Becky,

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Thanks for this technique.

A couple of suggestions:

1. I think the test for determining when link text has to be
supplemented would be something like:
===Procedure===
#Check for any links with identical link text (including identical alt
text for graphical links)
#For each link identified in (1), check that the value of the href
attribute is unique
#For each link with identical link text (including alt text for
graphical links) and a unique href attribute, check that a title
attribute is present and that the title attribute describes the
destination of the link
===Expected result===
(3) Is true


2. I think the example and test about the link opening in a new window
can be deleted-- these are more appropriate for GL3.2 since they're
about changes of context.

I know the test I proposed above is long and that the items are hard to
read. Hopefully someone can come up with a shorter way to say those
things!
