At the team b meeting on February 7 we discussed the failure, Using an
image for "?"(circle mark) or "?"(cross mark) instead of text and
providing alternative text for the image which describes the meaning of
its mark. Unfortunately I didn't take very good minutes and I'm not sure
what updates I need to make. Here are the notes from the minutes:
discussed 1.3.6 glyph failure. 3 types of content - text, non-text
content, and not an image of text but is a non-text mark; Becky will
rewrite. provide alternative using features of technology or use
different mechanism to represent the glyph which can be marked with an
alternative.
Based on this cryptic information, I have updated the description for this
failure. Is that enough? Were there also concerns about the examples?
thanks,
-becky
