[Various implementation details] I like the idea but I think that for inclusion in the authoring tool guidelines it should be abstracted somewhat. For instance we might recommend that authoring tools present positive reinforcement when any accessiblity issues are corrected. We may suggest that this positive reinforcement include mention of both the satisfied and unsatisfied issues. However, I think we should avoid suggesting that the checklist be activated after editing. Tool makers may find ways to present these issues within the ongoing editing process.
