Hynn's point is really important - at the end of the day there are a number of questions like "did you put a picture in your page? If so did you do it using the img element, the object element, as a background property, by using pre to construct a diagram using characters, ... If we use the term element it will be understood by people who know the languages (HTML or whatever) to mean a particular language element. Most of our requirements are about page components and the way they function.

I'm not sure what the term "element" means here. The example -- of the IMG HTML element -- may imply that we are talking about markup elements, or that we are talking about particular "components" of a technology. It might make more sense to say that the last item is a statement that the checkpoint does not apply _BECAUSE_ "no images are used on the page" or whatever. --Kynn
