We will discuss this at tomorrow's teleconference. CLARIFICATION: This revision conveys part of the message of the current 3.1; the Note does not convey the part about "style sheets to format text and control layout". This isn't so bad since that requirement is covered by checkpoint 3.3. Therefore I recommend in a clarification to WCAG 1.0 that the clause "use style sheets to format text and control layout [rather than images]" be moved to 3.3 as an example. - Ian -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
