The guidelines *are* already there, but WCAG 2.0 has taken the movement towards tersification, so a great deal of the interpretation will be done in the techniques documents... (I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but it seems to be generally agreed upon). Basically, we are saying that for most media, in-your-face URLs present accessibility problems, except when a page is a) presented on media that is independant of the Web, or b) needs possible link context expansion (for discussion puroses/in streaming media browsers). > Therefore, for the time being I propose adding something to section 6.1 O.K. :-) > This eventually should appear in the Core > Techniques as it applies across languages The core techniques for WCAG 2.0? Seems reasonable. I think this is fairly HTML specific though: although XLink has xlink:title and so forth to deal with (may need to issue something about accessibility of XLink). -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
