JR: It would also be good to send a signal to the W3C community that we have
pulled back from RC and another working draft.

Publishing moratorium for a Working Draft  is June 1, 2005

JR: Guideline 1 items were added. Now are changes that initiated like
numbering. Conformance had to be moved above the guidelines. New conformance
scheme that was proposed last week has now been added.

A lot of the changes are editorial changes, or removing the ISO 16071
references.

JR: Getting down to the guidelines....

GP: I think we need to put a boundary around browser access functionality

JR: Good point. This remains an open issue. Could we leave it at that. If
anyone wants to make proposals on any of this stuff , feel free.

JR: Next, Author Profile functionality. Allow people to choose between
configurations.

JR: Ensure that documentation is accessible.

GP: I will take that.

JR: THere is a similar checkpoint in the UAAG

JR: Next is preview function accessible

JR: I will take that one distinguish between the interface around the
preview window but not necessarily what is inside the preview window

JR: Now into Guideline A1

user interface @@ensure preview rendered view out clause is in the defn of
user interface

interactive components behave in predictable ways.@@"Maintain consistency
within the authoring tool user interface."@@ [Priority ?]  I will do this.
JR: Jutta will propose something about individual conventions.

this one.
