http://www.w3.org/TR/ATAG-wombat/ I read in detail this morning in preparation for the joint AU/EO meeting. Intro Paragraph 4 (p4): ...use of sound is not practical ... ?even with a headset/earphones? ?Where no text-to-speech is available? ?explicitly those who are deaf?. 1.3 Like your use of conformance claims "Double-A" and "Triple-A", that should probably be picked up in other guidelines. Nits: different date/version forms in first <ol>, first two <li> second with /010530 should be 20010530. Yet a different date shows up in the following example. 2. Guidelines Guideline 1. 1.1. third entry (see also) 1.2. At minimum...):Accessibility needs a space. Guideline 2 2.1 Use the latest [approved] version of W3c Recommendations Guideline 3 3.1. two places reference collated text transcripts without pointer to glossary, where it is described not thereunder but under transcript. 3.3 At minimum .... Only an alternative that has been explicitly associated with an object may be offered as a default entry for the author to approve. Some image formats (SVG) include descriptions.

Guideline 7 P3 Should DOM be mentioned to support the editing view? 7.2 At minimum...by the tool, including their attributes and values. Extra break after See also Glossary Conversion Tool transforms content (not convent) Move it after "Check for" Element Should now include XHTML. ?Element Type? what can be offered as choice by an authoring tool, including the attributes for it. Presentation Markup. After final sentence do you need to say anything about use of presentation tables to achieve layout, the common way. References Add XHTML. Why is UAAG10-TECHS mentioned, but not UAAG? UAAG should be meaningful for the designers of authoring tools. Regards/Harvey Bingham
