Proposed change to 1.2: "Ensure the tool preserves all accessibility information during transformations and conversions". The minimum requirement is to ensure that all information provided in the pre-conversion document or fragment is provided in the result. It is possible that this is not reversible. Better tools will use markup, such as RDF, to record the transformation and ensure reversibility. Note that this checkpoint covers importing from a format the tool does not use. Rationale: There are two parts here - automatic (more or less) transformations, and general authoring. As far as I can tell general authoring is already covered in about half of the other checkpoints, and it would be good to call out the fact that this is expecially relevant for transformations. In particular, I think that being explicit about this in the minimum requirements is important. -- 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)
