From an action I took yesterday: B.2.1.3 Other Technologies: If the authoring tool can insert web content which it cannot subsequently edit, then the author(s) can associate accessibility information with that web content. (Level A) Intent of Success Criterion: The intent of this success criterion is to ensure that when web content technologies can only be imported or integrated (but not edited), authoring tools still provide a mechanism for associating the necessary accessibility information. Many authoring tools make a distinction between technologies that the authoring tool actually uses to edit web content and other technologies that can only be imported or integrated. For example, most HTML editors can insert images into web pages without the ability to edit the images. Association of accessibility information can take many forms, depending on the nature of the inserted web content technology and the web content technology that can be edited. In the HTML example, it is straightforward to associate accessibility information for images via the HTML markup (i.e., alt, longdesc). However, in cases where the inserted web content technology can introduce extensive, inaccessible functionality support for linking to conforming alternate versions might be appropriate.
