Re: [Fwd: Re: New ATAG 2.0 Editor's Draft]

The results of changes resulting from Barry's review and from my actions 
from the AUWG call on which we discussed Barry's comments 
(http://www.w3.org/2007/06/04-au-minutes.html) are included in this new 
Editor's Draft:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/AU/2007/WD-ATAG20-20070615/WD-ATAG20-20070615.html

My responses to Barry's comments are in-line below.

Cheers,
-Jan

JR: Added.

JR: Group decided to leave as is.

JR: Group decided to leave as is. Remember this is just for the tool's 
chrome.

> A.3.1 "hand eye" -> "hand-eye"

JR: Done

> A.3.1.3 why not also "content display"?

JR: Done

> A.3.1.6 ... using conventions of the platform (e.g. via "tab", ....)

JR: Done

JR: Non-web based "submit" phrasing added.

JR: Reworded.

JR: Reworded

> A.3.3.4 vs A.3..3.2 this is a gimme AA criteria (10 vs 5 no diff in effort)

JR: Suggest removing?

JR: Group decided to leave as is.

> A.4.1.2 should also cover acronyms

JR: Done by bringing WCAG's abbreviation defn.

> A.4.1.x should add "easy to access mechanism" (ex by keyboard, tool
> button, etc)

JR: Group did not decide

> A.4.2.1 define ":change of context"

JR: Reworded as change of focus. Is this ok?

JR: Done

JR: Removed?

JR: Not sure where you intended this? B.1.1?

> B.2.4.2 "image database" -> "object database"

JR: Done

> B.2.4.3 references may not need to be valid URIs, ex a simple file name
> is not "universal"

JR: Done

> B.2.5  rationale "is often" -> "are often"

JR: Done
