RE: Draft proposals for 4.1.1

Hi Michael et al.

 

 

You proposed three items.   

 

  I am intrigued by the first one as a way to address our concerns.
Deterministically is not on our plain and simple list but I'm not sure there
is a plain and simple on for this.   Need to look at this one more. 

 

 

 The other two I don't think we need.

 

 The L2 item is completely covered by 1.3.1  and that is at level 1

 

 Validity should not be at Level 3.        I thought we went through this
and said that Validity should never be at Level 3.   If it is needed for
access it needs to be higher.  If not we don't have a base to include it.
Yet we want to promote it. 

If we can't make the case that it is essential for accessibility then the
next best thing we can do it so have it be our #1 recommended method for
meeting our Level 1 SC 4.1.1  for markup languages.    But not at L3

 

I would suggest we focus on getting 4.1.1 right. 

Keep Validity testing as our #1 strategy for meeting it

Subject: Draft proposals for 4.1.1

Please take a look in the wiki at draft
<http://trace.wisc.edu/wcag_wiki/index.php?title=Draft_4.1.1_Proposals>
proposals for 4.1.1 based on our discussion this week. This is an attempt to
collectively address the issues we are aware of with this SC. It is only the
start; if we end up liking the direction we can expand it into proposable
proposals. If there are problems, maybe this will stimulate investigation of
other directions.

There are three proposed SC. Please make comments on them in the comments
section for each, prefacing your comments with your initials.
