Re: [Backplane XG] Updated final report draft, and Agenda for Sept 22 Telecon

aloha!

since the second proposed paragraph contained in my initial comments
on the RWAB XG's final report draft was corrupted when i changed 
in mid composition from text-only to text-and-html (so that i could
ensure that the URIs would not wrap)

in any case here is "GJR SUGGESTION 2" which refers to the text which 
appears beneath the heading "Rich user interaction platforms and 
patterns"

extant wording - begin quote

Web users today seek ever increasing interactivity and responsiveness in 
Web applications, particularly as those applications expand in scope and 
function to provide increasing levels of capability ("richness') in 
presentation, control, and data

unquote

begin proposed (less passive and added verbiage about accessibility):

Today's web users need ever increasing degrees of interactivity and 
responsiveness in Web applications, particularly as those applications 
expand in scope and function.  Presentation, user controls, and data 
management are areas where increased levels of usability, accessibility 
and capability -- all aspects of the "richness" referred to in the term 
"Rich Web Applications" -- need to be provided.  The drive for richness 
stems from a desire for authors to address greater functional goals in 
their applications -- moving from web content to commerce to 
collaborative services. The means for achieving richness stem largely 
from migrating function back to the client that historically has been 
resident on the server. The RWAB XG does not seek to re-establish a 
world of client-server computing but rather to increasingly leverage 
client capabilities in an era of greatly expanded distributed computing 
and online services.  This is also a key aspect of ensuring the 
accessibility and interoperability of scripted functions and data 
management to persons with disabilities, such as low vision, blindness, 
the inability to use a pointing device, etc.)
