Hmmm. I think we need to give a good answer to this one. It will probably come back. (My ideal is to expand always, until user agents are smart enough to look it up themselves...) cheers Charles -- 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 until 6 January 2001 at: W3C INRIA, 2004 Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 15:54:48 -0500 From: Bill Kules <wmk@takoma-software.com> To: WAI Mailing List <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Subject: Question on abbreviations Resent-Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 15:56:17 -0500 (EST) Resent-From: w3c-wai-ig@w3.org Re: checkpoint 4.2, "Specify the expansion of each abbreviation or acronym in a document where it first occurs." Since many HTML documents are not designed to be read linearly, what is the definition of the first occurence in that case? Is there consensus on this?
