Apologies if my comments are inappropriate; I've been out of touch with the group's work for some time. Regarding 4.1 mentioned in the agenda, which I think must be the last item (they're not numbered), and looking at previous versions, might I suggest changing "Maximize compatibility with" to "Design for" which is much shorter and I thing is easier to understand. This would leave room for a more detailed definition of user tools, like "Design for all browsers and assistive technologies" (51 characters). Looking at the proposal as a whole, and comparing it with the WCAG 1.0 version, some of the tips seem rather too abstract, such as "Do not use content that causes *seizures*" and and "Give users enough time...", "Make it easier for users to *see and hear content*" (how?). The 1.0 version is more concrete and so easier to understand. Sometimes it seems like there is a layer of abstraction that the user has to work through and interpret before getting to what really needs to be done. The P.O.U.R. headings are used with no explanation. I wonder whether people will understand what they are about if they haven't read the full WCAG document first. Has WAI considered something like the Mobile Web best Practices cards [1]? They are much more expensive to produce I imagine, but contain a great deal more information. best regards, Alan [1] http://www.w3.org/2007/02/mwbp_flip_cards -- Alan Chuter achuter1@gmail.com
