Re: Action item: success criteria

Hi Tim,

The first "all" works, but I'm not sure about the second "all" - we 
would like these features to come to the attention of the author before 
the workflow ends, but "all" sounds too strong (almost as if we were 
asking every instance page of documentation to be thrust at the author).

In my opinion, we mean something like "must be made available" (And 
Checkpoint 4.2 requires that this be CLEARLY availabler). So, it's not 
against the rules for the author to decide against calling or invoking a 
checker, but they do need to have that option.

Good point. Let's add a discussion of "completing a workflow" to the 
defintion of the term "workflow" in the glossary.

This would leave us with:

4.3, Success Criteria 1:
Accessibility prompting must be integrated into all features that
assist with author decision-making (e.g. templates, wizards and
instruction text). Accessibility checking, repair and documentation
functions must be made available before completion of any authoring 
workflow.

Any other comments?

Cheers,
Jan
