Thanks Jan, I am doing the editing of the new draft now, so this will make it in. I won't finish it tonight though - I expect to have it out tomorrow evening European time.

The "at minimum" statement has been modified and a WSIWYG note has been added as per the conversation on Monday. 7.4 Allow the display preferences of the authoring tool user interface to be changed without affecting the document markup. [Priority 1] This checkpoint applies primarily to WYSIWYG markup editing tools and requires that the author be able to view the content, as it is being authored, in a way that differs from the presumed default appearance of the rendered content. At minimum there must be some mechanism for changing the document display independently of the document markup. There are a number of ways that this can be achieved, including supporting operating environment display preferences and allowing the author to specify an editing style sheet that is different from those included with the end document. In addition, there must be some means by which textual alternatives can be displayed to the author in place of non-text elements. -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
