Hi Chris, Thanks for filling out the A-Prompt part of the checklist http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/tools/a-prompt-checklist.html As usual, actually applying the checklist brings up issues with the checklist and/or guidelines. For example, you've got all the items under the ALT text checkpoint 1.1 marked as "fully automatic", and given the way ERT defines things that seems right. But it takes a human doing a manual check to check if ALT text is really correct so we can't really say that any tool is fully automatic there. We should add a message to do manual checks to ERT...which makes the technique partly automatic, but partly semiautomatic. This would also require A-prompt to pop up a window for every image BTW. Also, regarding 5.3, checking if layout tables make sense when linearized, which is classified as semi automatic. How is A-Prompt handling that now? E.g. does it linearize the table for the user so they can check it? Len -- Leonard R.
