Hi, I've taken a look through WCAG from an ATAG perspective and it looks very good. I really only saw a couple things to comment on: 1. Still no mention of ATAG in WCAG Therefore I think AUWG should decide on some and propose it to the WCAG-GL. I'd like to kick it off with this: Authoring Tools (New heading right after "Audience" in Introduction) A large proportion of Web content is created using authoring tool software. By making authoring decisions directly or framing choices to the author, these tools exercise a great deal of control of the nature of the web content they produce. While it is recommended that all authors become familiar with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, it is understood that widespread conformance to the guidelines will depend on the degree to which authoring tools support and encourage authoring practices that result in conformant content. Developers of authoring tools can help to make their tools more WCAG-aware by adhering to the requirements of the W3C-WAI Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines [ATAG], for which implementation techniques are also available. User and purchasers of authoring tools are encouraged to make conformance to W3C-WAI Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines [ATAG] a factor when selecting tools. 2. The second issue is the definition of "extreme changes in context". This isn't very clear. -- If anyone else has spotted something, please send it to the list so we can send the comments on to the WCAG-GL. -- Cheers, Jan -- Jan Richards, M.Sc.
