I.e. if Guidelines is at w3.org/WAI/AU/2004/WD-ATAG20-20040120/ then the examples should be at w3.org/WAI/AU/2004/WD-ATAG20-20040120/example1.html, .../example2.html, etc. > to change "Authoring tool" definition in Guidelines Glossary to read "See 1.1 Definition of Authoring Tool" where that title is an href. As for Jan's work: A) I attach my version with a couple of word changes along with a move of the 4 functions to the right. I think they needed to be offset visually for those skimming either online or printed copy. B) In Code-Level Authoring Functions, not sure what is meant by "Author may or may not control other aspects (e.g. code formatting)." Began to think of structure vs. presentation, but I don't think that is what you mean. Couldn't see anything in the existing version to clarify matters. C) You're missing "Constrained Editing". Couldn't it be argued that it fall in the new Content Management Authoring Functions? This type of editing uses sharply defined templates. Don't know if I am on shaky ground saying this. D) You're missing "Symbol-Level Editing". Could this be placed under Object-oriented functions? I think the definition might need a slight change. Not sure. regards, Karen Mardahl
