Getting ATAG 2.0 Techniques ready for Publishing

Barry,

Thanks for these comments on Part A.

Below are my comments (mostly agreement) and attached is resulting Part 
A and two images I added/edited.

Tim and Greg: If we are going to publish the Techniques before the F2F 
at the end of April, then I need to get your approvals on Part B fairly 
soon. REMEMBER: this is not a last call or anything so it's ok if its 
not perfect. We just want a public draft more up to date than November 2004.


Cheers,
Jan

Maybe the term is a poor choice? What about something like: "Useful
Information"?

I have checked these.

Done.

Done.

Done.

Done.

Done - I changed them both to "Design" and added a "Display text
alternatives" checkbox to each.

All 3 instances fixed.

Could not find this.

Done.

Done.

Done.

Would this be advisory?

Rewrote as "Allowing the author to maintain a list of user agents to be
used for previewing."

Removed the "such as:".

OK, I dropped this in.
