Yesterday the Working Group adopted new wording for SC 2.4.5: The unique function of each link can be determined. Here is a general technique for this SC: Identifying the unique function of a link using any combination of text associated with the link, text immediately before the link, and text immediately after the link http://trace.wisc.edu/wcag_wiki/index.php?title=Identifying_the_unique_f unction_of_a_link_using_any_combination_of_text_associated_with_the_link %2C_text_immediately_before_the_link%2C_and_text_immediately_after_the_l ink Please review-- and please pay particular attention to the examples. (This technique is an updated version of the one about describing the destination of a programmatic reference in text associated with the programmatic reference, which was very controversial. I've deleted one example (the one with the list of links to census data for different decades).) We could add a new one that shows a link embedded in a sentence: <p>The report provides information about <a href="http://www.example.com/coffee_exports.htm">coffee</a> exports from Venezuela in 2003.</p> John "Good design is accessible design."
