RE: Web Accessibility and Mobile Phones doc for 4 January 2008 Teleconference

Hello and Happy New Year,

Only one comment to add. The document title "Web Accessibility and
Mobile Phones" is good but I prefer mobile devices. "Phones" feels too
restricted in my head somehow.

Thanks, Henny

Thanks for the comments, Alan. I made a few changes, and left the others
for EOWG discussion.

feel that the shorter options aren't sufficient - especially given that
"accessibility" doesn't have anything to do with people with
disabilities for many, especially in the context of mobile. Are you OK
with the title of "Making a Web Site Both Accessible for People with
Disabilities and for Mobile Devices", or would you strongly prefer a
short title with subtitle, e.g., "Web Accessibility and Mobile Phones:
Making your Web site both accessible for people with disabilities and
for mobile devices"?

How about "Mobile Overlap"?

should it be located under:

technical documents of the overlap between WCAG and the Mobile Web Best
Practices?
>> - "Managing Accessibility">"Implementation Plan for Web
Accessibility" because it's about considering both sets of guidelines in
your web development process?

the additional benefit of accessibility?
