For me, "Interaction Context" is too difficult to parse...difficult to imagine, visualize or conceptualize... it's like the old days of WCAG when we were talking about a "web unit" (we had rejected "web page" on the grounds that web apps weren't static) we had many people complaining about "web unit"... and I mentioned the analogy of "horsepower" and how the word morphed when cars were created, and through some discussions ended up back with web page which included interaction... I mention this because maybe we don't have to invent another term (we have enough people complaining about our new terms) ... how about "active window"? (or active viewport) Cheers David MacDonald CanAdapt Solutions Inc.

Can someone or someones summarize the problems with interaction context?

The proposal to use "interaction context" for "web page" has not yet been accepted. We need another proposal. Ideas anyone? Andi
