The other requirements documents currently in development are Working Drafts, including: http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-reusable-dialog-reqs-20000426 http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-DOM-Requirements-20000412 http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xhtml-forms-req-20000329 http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xmlquery-req-20000131 http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-voice-tts-reqs-19991223 While there's nothing that prevents the Working Group from requesting publication as a Note, I recommend that you request publication as a Working Draft since this is a work in progress. The requirements will certainly evolve as the Working Group continues to work. There is no requirement that a Working Draft advance to Recommendation. At a later date, the WG may choose, to incorporate the requirements as an appendix to the WCAG 2.0 Recommendation. Or the Working Group can request publication of the final requirements as a Note. But for now, I recommend requesting Working Draft status. - Ian -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
