This is a great summary of WAI. Thanks, Judy for pulling it together. Navigation: Tab order. Repeat arrows at bottom, for when I have large type so have to scroll down to see it all, then scroll back up to get to the "next" arrow. The W3C and WAI logos appear first in the tab order, so always have to be skipped over. You could use TABINDEX to reorder. [I note that in the Page Content Guidelines the icon order is "next", "prior", "top".] Even if stylesheet-driven, I believe a user rule with an declaration marked important should override the corresponding author declaration. [Size has some inconsistent behavior in Netscape Navigator 4.51. Some state memory on size may be part of caching.] Slide 2: "advance forward" is redundant. ?Mention size cycling? You mention "third link, or right arrow. Why the third link? It is the fifth link now I believe. I wish page-up, page-down keys could be used with these, as part of our guidance to always provide keyboard equivalents to mouse actions. [They do work in Powerpoint.] Also, we should have text equivalents for icon-only actions. Slide 5: Of course, population is aging, second by second. Average age is increasing. Slide 11: Add links to SMIL, MathML Slide 12: "addresses accessibility of user agent user interface and rendering of accessibility information" How about omitting "user agent", as it is subject in the containing bullet. Authoring Tools Audience is developers of any means to produce web pages. WYSIWYG editors would not be my first-listed. Some instances of such give no or negligible control over what is generated for the web, and are among the worst offenders. Does "generation tools" include dynamically custom-generated material? Slide 13. I'd like a link to Bobby, even though it isn't a W3C site. [I note it is repeated with link on pg 16.] Since only one sub-bullet under the last two bullets, coalesce? Slide 14: Who takes responsibility for WAI Q&A? [Often Q&A answers have pointers to more detailed explanations. Our discussion didn't suggest that you were doing such.] [assume that pointer to it will be on WAI home page.] Mention Calendar of meetings and conferences. Slide 17: Ensure that those preparing web pages are accessibility-aware. Use training materials or call for experts to help present it. Regards/Harvey
