This action item is a follow-up item. We agreed, per the WCAG WG request, to remove statements from our guidance that said that documents that are not interactive beyond simple hyperlinks would automatically apply. The follow up was to check to make sure documents are still covered and we didn't lose anything by removing that statement. 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable: Our guidance says this applies directly replacing "content" with electronic documents and software". Seems clear that documents are covered. 3.2.1 On Focus: Our guidance says this applies directly. The first sentence of INTENT makes it clear that this applies to navigation within a document. In a document with no interactivity beyond simple hyperlinks, nothing gets focus except hyperlinks which don't change context on receiving focus. So this one seems clear. 3.2.2 On Input: Our guidance says this applies directly. There is a note in intent that contains this sentence: Clicking on links or tabs in a tab control is activating the control, not changing the setting of that control. So it seems clear that hyperlinks in a document may change the context. 3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data): Our guidance says this applies directly. Seems like it would be obvious to document authors that their documents don't cause execute transactions and would therefore meet this. 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value: Our guidance says this applies directly but it's not so obvious whether document authors need to do anything to meet this one and "links" are included in the examples in the SC itself. The intent includes a note that states "This success criterion is primarily for Web authors who develop or script their own user interface components. For example, standard HTML controls already meet this success criterion when used according to specification. " We might need to add a more general version of this statement to our guidance. Something like "Standard controls in many document formats already meet this success criterion when used according to specification. Consult accessibility guidelines for the document format for guidance." Andi
