Here is my action item for checkpoint 2.7. I was to add to the rationale and success criteria to explain why authoring tools should not mess with namespaces they don't understand. Original 2.7 rationale: Markup that is not recognized by an authoring tool may have been added to enhance accessibility. Changed to: Markup that is not recognized by an authoring tool may have been added to enhance accessibility. Also, newer XML-based languages, such as XHTML 1.1, allow authors to include multiple languages in a single document, via namespaces. In the future, documents may contain metadata, including accessibility information, in another namespace. Authoring tools must not strip this information when it is encountered. Techniques: Implementation Techniques for Checkpoint 2.7, Evaluation Techniques for Checkpoint 2.7 Success Criteria: 1. All well-formed markup is preserved. 2. The author is queried for their consent before any unrecognized markup is removed or changed. Added: 3. The tool does not interfere with content in namespaces it is not able to process. - m
