[This email has been submitted as a comment on the July 27, 2012 draft of "Applying WCAG 2.0 to Non-Web Information and Communications Technologies"] The concepts/terms [non-web] "content" and [non-web] "document" are very fuzzy, if used without context, background, a proper definition etc. Among many other aspects the following would have to be addressed: - relationship between content, documents, data/data sets, and information - final form (and intentionally shared as thus with others) versus work in progress (a semi-finished letter, and possibly shared with someone for review) - formal (an email sent in some official matter, an order or invoice, a book) versus informal (a note, memo, private communication, diary, ...) - context: usage context, creator, sender, recipient, channel over which access happens, purpose - provide examples to illustrate what is to be considered content/document, and what not Unless at least substantial portions of the above are developed, I consider the document "Applying WCAG 2.0 to Non-Web Information and Communications Technologies" per its draft dated July 27, 2012, essentially meaningless, due to lack of a reasonable amount of specificity. In a nutshell: Clearly define the core terms [non-web] content/document, and establish semantic context.
