At the F2F it was decided that AUWG should take another look at removing "standard" accessibility practices for desktop software from the detailed requirements and instead focusing on accessibility requirements that are more authoring tool-specific. Assuming this continues to be our approach here's one way Part A might be organized: PRINCIPLE A.1: Applicable accessibility standards must be followed Guideline A.1.1 [For the authoring tool user interface] Ensure that Web-based functionality is accessible Guideline A.1.2 [For the authoring tool user interface] Ensure that non-Web-based functionality is accessible --- PRINCIPLE A.2: Editable content renderings must be enhanced for accessibility Guideline A.2.1 [For the authoring tool user interface] Enable authors to independently configure their displays. Guideline A.2.2 [For the authoring tool user interface] Provide access to alternative equivalents in the content being edited Guideline A.2.3 [For the authoring tool user interface] Provide access to editable presentation Guideline A.2.4 [For the authoring tool user interface] Help authors avoid flashing content that could cause seizures Guideline A.3.5 [For the authoring tool user interface] Ensure that previews are as accessible as existing user agents --- PRINCIPLE A.3: The accessibility of operating the authoring tool must be enhanced Guideline A.3.1 [For the authoring tool user interface] Enhance keyboard access to authoring features Guideline A.3.2 [For the authoring tool user interface] Enable time-independent authoring Guideline A.3.3 [For the authoring tool user interface] Enhance navigation and editing via content structure Guideline A.3.4 [For the authoring tool user interface] Provide text search Guideline A.3.5 [For the authoring tool user interface] Enable management of preference settings Guideline A.3.6 [For the authoring tool user interface] Help authors avoid and correct authoring mistakes Guideline A.3.7 [For the authoring tool user interface] Document the accessibility features of the authoring tool -- Jan Richards, M.Sc.
