------

A.1.4 Ensure changes to the display settings of editing views do not
affect the content being edited.

All: APPROVED

Rationale: Authors may require settings to render and control the content during
editing that differ from the presentation defined for the published
content (e.g. providing a high contrast setting to edit content that is
not intended to be high contrast)

All: APPROVED

SC1: The author must be able to configure the display settings of editing
views without affecting the Web content being edited. 

All: APPROVED

Technique A.1.4-1.3 [Advisory]:
Allowing the author to specify a preferred style sheet that will override the
"published" style of the document in the editing view.

All: APPROVED

---------------

JR's B.2.7 proposals:

[action 1] Moving checkpoint B.2.7 to Section B.3 (I think it fits under
"integration") and rewording it as: "Document features of the tool that
support the production of accessible content." 

[action 2] Changing the success criterion to specifically reference the
features related to section B.2, for example: SC 1. All features of the
tool that play a role in satisfying the success criteria for checkpoints
B.2.1, B.2.2, B.2.3, B.2.5, B.2.6 and B.2.9 must be documented in the
help system. (note the wording parallels A.3.3) 

[action 3] Moving B.2.8 to Section B.3 (I think it fits under
"promoting") and rewording it as: "Ensure that any authoring practices
demonstrated in *repair instructions* or documentation are accessible"
(note that repair instructions, a term used in B.2.3, is separated from
help system-type documentation. 

[action 4] Reword B.3.2 and its success criteria to follow the new
pattern in [actions 1 and 2]: "Ensure that features of the tool that
support the production of accessible content are always clearly
available to the author." 

[action 5] Reword B.3.4 and it's success criteria to follow the new
pattern in [actions 1 and 2]: "Ensure that features of the tool that
support the production of accessible content are configurable." 

Action JR: Rework B.3.4: Accessibility options must be turned on by default, but
you may opt out. If you do opt out, you are warned of the consequences, and you
are always allowed to opt-in. Opt-in is always available. (Rough sentence)

All: All, revisit all of this and determine if the proposal is a good one.

-------------------------
