I think this is an excellent suggestion. Sites may in fact have different areas. We have even discussed having different presentations for different cognitive levels. So I would concur with suggestion Checkpoint 3.3: Write as clearly and simply as is appropriate for the content. -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Human Factors Dept of Ind.

[Paul] I think this works well, with one exception: The type of content may vary widely on any given site, along with the intended audience. Not every piece of content is written for the same audience at the same reading level, educational level, etc. Perhaps we need to drop the word "site's" and just say: Checkpoint 3.3: Write as clearly and simply as is appropriate for the content. P.S. ( I do like the suggestion of simply saying "Write clearly and simply," but this may be too much of a reduction for this draft) Paul Bohman Technology Coordinator WebAIM: Web Accessibility in Mind (www.webaim.org) Center for Persons with Disabilities (www.cpd.usu.edu) Utah State University (www.usu.edu)
