Edits to 3.1 and 4.3

Here are my current attempts at editing 3.1 and 4.3, I still want to 
work on it but thought it would be good to get some additional 
creative participation.

3.1 Prompt and assist the author to create content that conforms to 
WCAG.  [Web Content Checkpoints Relative to WCAG]

Rationale: Appropriate assistance should increase the likelihood that 
typical authors will create content that conforms to WCAG. This 
assistance should help to prevent the author from making decisions or 
omissions that cause accessibility problems. If accessibility 
problems are prevented, less effort is required to create content 
that conforms to WCAG.    Different tool developers will accomplish 
this goal in ways that are appropriate to their products, processes, 
and authors.

Success Criteria:
	1. 	When content is added that requires information from 
the author in order to conform to WCAG, then the authoring tool must 
inform the author that this additional information is required (e.g. 
via input dialogs, interactive feedback, etc.). (determine level)
2. If the authoring tool provides guidance then that guidance should 
direct the author to use authoring practices that are most likely to 
lead to Web content that conforms to WCAG.
3. When the author is presented with a list of choices, that includes 
choices of formats or authoring practices that do not support content 
that conforms to WCAG, these should be marked to indicate that the 
choice may produce content that is inaccessible.

4.3. Ensure that the author is encouraged to consider accessibility 
throughout the authoring process in any feature that assists the 
author in sequencing actions. [Priority 2]

Rationale: Accessible design as an afterthought or separate process 
is much more onerous and therefore costly than when accessibility is 
considered from the start. If the authoring tool supports the author 
in considering accessibility before and/or during the authoring 
process it is more likely that accessible authoring practices will 
become a common practice. This is analogous to internationalization, 
which is much easier when it is considered from the beginning rather 
than handled last.

Techniques: Implementation Techniques for Checkpoint 4.3

Success Criteria:
	1. 	Any feature that helps to sequence author actions 
(eg., templates, wizards, tutorials, instruction text) must integrate 
accessibility prompting. These prompts should occur before or at the 
time that the author is required to make the authoring decision 
related to the prompt.
