I don't know if this has gone beyond the timetable, and whether the super-stripped version is the one we should be discussing. Can someone tell us? Anyway, let's assume that this is still worth discussing. Chris Kreussling said in the guidelines group that the reference card should ignore functions, and concentrate on information presented by scripts. I disagree. But more importantly I would like to state that it is Client-side scripts which are the problem. It is not simply a problem that they are written as accessible or inaccessible scripts, although they can be one or the other. Part of the problem is that there are plenty of people out there using User Agents which do not understand Javascript, ActiveX, VBScript, etc etc. So my preferred point 5 (from my stripped list) is now All important information and functionality must be available without requiring client-side scripts or applets.
