"Checking, validating and where necessary repairing markup." Perhaps "possible" instead of "necessary" or just leave out "where necessary" since one should *always* repair markup in need of repair. "Do not generate description text or insert place-holder text [except human-authored description text] when the meaning or function of the described object is known with certainty." [my brackets] The placement of the bracketed part emphasizes a possible misunderstanding of this checkpoint. It might sound like "don't insert text if you know object's function"! "Integrate applicable accessibility features in any discussion of the help system" What is a discussion of the help system? "The author may need a different view to edit the web content than they wish it to be ultimately displayed." The old "author...they" and "wish it to be" problem. "Ensure the rendering used while authoring of independent of styles..." The "too many 'ofs' problem." That's enough for now. -- Love. ACCESSIBILITY IS RIGHT - NOT PRIVILEGE http://dicomp.pair.com
