"TECHNOLOGY, Web Content" definition for ATAG2

Hi,

On Monday's call, the term "TECHNOLOGY, Web Content" was introduced as a 
potential replacement for "Content Type" in ATAG2 and "Technology" in 
WCAG (it came out of a meeting between Michael Cooper, Al Gilman and I):


TECHNOLOGY, Web Content

A mechanism for encoding instructions to be rendered or executed by user
agents. Technologies may include markup languages, data formats, or
programming languages that authors may use alone or in combination to
create end-user experiences that range from static Web pages to dynamic
Web applications. Some common examples of Web content technologies
include HTML, CSS, SVG, PNG, PDF, Flash, and JavaScript.


BTW: The issue of techniques for creating Web Applications using DOM 
manipulation is covered by this reading:
"programming languages" "executed by user agents" to create "dynamic Web 
applications".


Cheers,
Jan
