The Techniques are non-normative. (SO is AERT - that was resolved at the Amsterdam face to face.) We are trying to classify our techniques into things that we think are necessary to meet a checkpoint (but for the AERT functionality we have specific wording about what is the minimum required in the normative guidelines), things that are sufficient to meet a checkpoint, and things that are just a good idea.

Only the algorithms (i.e. techniques that guarantee correct answer like, does ALT text exist). Require the heuristics (e.g. heuristic that ALT text is sensible)? Or just have these techniques as non-normative suggestions? Len -- Leonard R.
