we currently have 2.3.4: [Priority 1] The tool must recognize accessibility markup for any language or format that it imports or converts. 2.3.5: [Priority 1] Never remove markup supported by the tool that is known to promote accessibility I think these are both dealing with the same thing - preserving accessibility features during format, language, or structural transformations (For example turning a table into a set of lists, or vice versa. I propose that these two checkpoints be merged into a single one which says "Preserve all accessibility features in content which is converted or transformed into a different language, format, or structure". Priority 1 I think this checkpoint actually belongs under guideline 2.4 The fact that a tool needs to recognise these features in a markup language or format the it can import seems to be sufficiently obvious from this checkpoint - otherwise we should retain 2.3.4. charles McCN
