Hmm. I think the PF group was where we decided this work should be done. But I think that writing them specificaly to make HTML (or whatever) pass them would be a gross betrayal of the trust people have in us. I also don't think that if they are incomplete (I can in fact think of examples where HTML is incomplete straight away) that they are not unusable.

Do we write them in such a way that HTML/XHTML (and SVG, and other W3C technologies) will "pass", or do we write them without consideration of existing W3C recommendations and risk that we may be labeling some of those existing technologies as "incomplete" (and thus possibly unusable) for accessibility's sake? --Kynn -- Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +61 (0) 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI Location: I-cubed, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton VIC 3053, Australia September - November 2000: W3C INRIA, 2004 Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
