Hi all, Just a couple of tweaks to the definition proposed: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2011JulSep/0000.html Changes: -"the *most relevant* platform will be a user agent" -"GNOME desktop on Linux" Platform: The software environment within which the authoring tool operates. Platforms provide a consistent operational environment on top of lower level software platforms or hardware. For web-based authoring user interfaces, the most relevant platform will be a user agent (e.g., browsers). For non-web-based user interfaces, the range of platforms includes, but may not be limited to, desktop operating systems (e.g. GNOME desktop on Linux, MacOS, Windows, etc.), mobile operating systems (e.g. Android, Blackberry, iOS, Windows Phone, etc.), or cross-OS environments (e.g. Java), etc. Note 1: Many platforms mediate communication between applications operating on the platform and assistive technology via a platform accessibility service. Note 2: Accessibility guidelines for developers exist for many platforms.
