Proposal number whatever, fulfilling my action item from the last meeting. Prompt: In this document prompt means to suggest, urge, encourage. Prompting does not depend on the author to initiate it, but it is intiated by the tool, although it may be user-configurable. Prompting is more than checking, automatically correcting, or making documentation available as required in checkpoints for guidelines 4, 5 and 6. It requires some kind of response (minimally, dismissing the prompt) although required prompting may be satisfied as one of several questions asked of the author at the same time, provided the required prompt is clear and obvious. Note that this definition may not be the meaning first associated with the term "prompt" in software development. -- Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +61 (0) 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI Location: I-cubed, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton VIC 3053 Postal: GPO Box 2476V, Melbourne 3001, Australia
