My concern is rather that ATAG shouldn't require agents to produce output that doesn't conform to the syntax of the file format that the agent outputs. A previous statement by a former editor of ATAG made me think that ATAG might have required agents to violate the file format syntax in the case I described, but I was unable to verify this by reading the spec text myself. > In a future HTML then it would be nice to have a valid way of > differentiating (a) from (b).

I commented on Matt's proposal here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-xtech/2008May/0199.html Do I understand correctly that ATAG 2.0 doesn't cover the case of uncooperative users in the context of HTML 4? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
