Good morning, At the meeting, I said I'd send a proposal for how to rework the checkpoints in section 3. My proposal condenses the requirements down to 2 checkpoints. The first is a P1 that addresses "how do I use the accessibility related features of this tool?". The second is a P2 that addresses the general "how do I make documents in this language accesssible?". Some of the other things have been worked in as minimum or advanced requirements of these. 6.1 Document features of the tool that promote the production of accessible content. [Priority 1] Rationale: Documenting each accessibility related feature of the tool (dialog boxes, utility, code views, etc.) will help authors to learn how to use them effectively. Minimum functionality: Include documentation that explains the purpose and use of the relevant features and document the process by which these features of the tool can be used to create accessible content. Optional advanced functionality: Provide context-sensitive links to this documentation from the actual features, within the authoring tool user interface. Also provide a dedicated "Accessibility" section of the documentation for this material. See also: Techniques for checkpoint 6.1 --- 6.2 Document accessibility practices for all languages supported. [Priority 2] Rationale: Documenting the accessibility practices of the languages supported will make these practices more visible to authors. Minimum functionality: Provide an overview of the tags and attributes of the supported languages that are required to enhance accessibility. The documentation might explain which disability groups and user agents benefit from their use. Optional advanced functionality: All documented examples of markup should include any relevant accessible authoring practices.
