Re: Please review the following proposals: 717, 780, 797, 798

717 - looks good.

780 - suggest rewording this sentence in the intent. It still reads like a
glyph is "non-text content".

Change

"A graphical symbol may be non-text content such as an image, an image of
text or a symbolic font glyph which imparts information nonverbally.
Examples of graphic symbols .."

to

"A graphical symbol may be an image, an image of text or a symbolic font
glyph which imparts information nonverbally. Examples of graphical symbols
... "

Change

"or use a different mechanism that can be marked with an alternative to
represent the non-text mark. For example, an image with a text alternative
can be used instead of the glyph."

to

"or use a different mechanism that can be marked with an alternative to
represent the graphical sumbol. For example, an image with a text
alternative can be used instead of the symbolic font glyph."

797 - looks good

798 - seems like a REALLY long title for a technique. Do we need the
specifics in there? Couldn't it just be simplified to something like "Using
images instead of symbolic font glyphs"?

717 [1] This was originally assigned to Christophe but since he is busy
with the Testing sub group I took the liberty to draft a proposal.
780 [2] I have an alternate proposal to what Michael has drafted.  This
relates to 797.
797[3] I have proposed changing the name of the technique (issue 780) and
have updated the description to remove the concerns about a font-glyph
being characterized as non-text content.
978[4] Also related to font glyphs. The image files referred to in the
response are attached here.
