Hi, Some participants were confused because tags like OBJECT, ACCESSKEY which are new to HTML 4.0, are recommended by the GLs but are not yet supported by browsers (OBJECT by neither Netscape or IE, ACCESSKEY by Netscape). It is difficult for page authors to know whether they have implemented advice correctly because they cannot get the tag to work. When I pointed out the reason these participants said that this should be indicated in the Guidelines. I suggest that the Guidelines (techniques) should include, at least, an indication that the page author may not be able to see the result of implementing a technique yet. Perhaps, at best, a list of browsers that do support the tag (as begun in the 19980721 version).
