RE: Comments 465, 466, 545 - Wording of Success Criterion 4.2.1, 4.2.3

My suggestion was only a SUFFICIENT technique.   It would mean that if you
did this it would be sufficient.   

A sufficient technique doesn't not mean the only way.  Just one acceptable
way.  

 

I only mentioned this technique so that we had one way we could count on for
alternate forms that were completely inaccessible.   I was concerned that
there was not method without it.   But other methods could exist   -- like
content negotiation with accessible version as default that we discussed
before.   Or in the future - all browsers could support an "alternate
accessible" button or something. 

 

Does that help?

Gez,

 

Not to worry for noe then. Thanks for giving it a look. Hopefully the full
group will get to this survey tomorrow and Gregg will clarify his point.
Team B will take note of this

Hi Katie,

I'm sorry, but I'm having difficulty trying to understand this.

I don't understand Gregg's suggestion - doesn't it imply that only
HTML could be considered accessible? Would that not undermine the
whole technology neutral aspect of the guidelines? If it was a
reasonable assumption, I wouldn't have thought it was considered
discoverable (what would make people change an extension in the hope
that the next resource they received was accessible?). Whereabouts in
the "How to meet 4.2.1" section does Ben believe this is covered?
Situation A and B don't describe changing the end of the URL to .html.

I'm sure I'm missing the point somewhere, but I don't know what to
suggest, as I don't understand the suggestion or where the suggestion
has been addressed.

Best regards,

Gez
