Greg's proposal

Hi team B
Sorry about dropping off. My house fused mid sentence. It took until now to 
work out the problem and get the electricity going again.

The point I was makings that in many technologies outside the baseline, 
which are also governed by the checkpoint there are much better ways to 
convey concepts other then a text description of the color. For example we 
are working on a role taxonomy so that people can show clearly the role of 
different colors, say in diagram of  a subway map.
As such the colors are mapped to paths, with roles etc. That will enable 
user agents to follow paths and lines between two stations, ect. Much more 
useful the knowing that a given line is red, which ignores what the line 
represents, which stations it connects to , which are the next lines that it 
is connected to in a given path etc.

Text equivalents is a a starting point accessibility, but success criteria 
should not produces richer options such as concept equivalents and mappings. 
I vote no to Greg's proposal

All the best
Lisa
