RE: A stray mention of "conformance" in SC 4.1.1

Fine with me to delete... there was consensus, right?

I am not really familiar with what is and is not acceptable – so I supported Peter’s “do nothing for now” proposal.

 

However, I agree with Gregg’s logic that I see the proposed deletion as being totally non-controversial and I would be amazed if any of the Task Force would object. 

 

If Gregg believes that it would be acceptable to delete before publication, and if this will not generate procedural objections from WCAG WG members, then I would be more than happy to propose that we do delete it prior to publication.

 

Best regards

 

Mike

I also agree with other commenters that simply deleting “conformance to” works perfectly. But this is a post-hoc fix that we can do and we need not delay publication by trying to make the fix now. It is just reassuring to know that an easy fix is on the shelf.

 

Well spotted and resolved Peter.

 

Best regards

Hi gang,

Staring at our latest draft, I noticed a stray reference to "conformance" in 4.1.1 Parsing <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wcag2ict/#ensure-compat-parses> .  The reference is in our first Note:

Note: Markup is not always available to assistive technologies or to user selectable user agents such as browsers.  Software sometimes uses markup languages internally for persistence of the software user interface, in ways where the markup is never available to assistive technology (either directly or through a document object model (DOM)), or to a user agent (such as a browser). In such cases, conformance to this provision would have no impact on accessibility as it can have for web content where it is exposed.

 

I am NOT suggesting we try to fix this before publication tomorrow.  But for our FINAL draft, I think we can simply delete "conformance to" from that sentence, so the last sentence would read: " In such cases, this provision would have no impact on accessibility as it can have for web content where it is exposed."


Thoughts?


Peter
