aloha, john!
as per your comment:
quote
3) Figure 1 and other figures end with [D], where I assume D is short for
'more Details'. May want to spell it out because [D] looks too much like
a reference citation (not in this work, but in other works anyway).
unquote
the hyperink text actually reads:
"Description of Figure X"
the extra verbiage is obscured from view using WCAG2 Technique C7:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/C7.html
by adding the following style rule to the HEAD of the ocument:
a span.context { height: 1px; width: 1px; position: absolute; overflow:
hidden; top: -10px; }
and the [D] link model is copied from other W3C TRs hat contain
longdescriptions (such as http://www.w3.org/TR?css2
but, that said, i don't think it would hurt if a title was added to
each (a WCAG1 technique), so that there is an extra means of disabiguating
individual links with apparently identical text -- to this end, please
find attached the validated Overview-v8.html also perusable at:
