How's this for confusing We can't even talk about CharlesM or CM since we now have two of each. Using CamelCase I guess we could use CM and CMCN. Anyhow -- Question to CMunat Were you suggesting breaking the guidelines into 3 documents? Or just regrouping along different titles?

Munat Cc: WAI Guidelines WG Subject: RE: A PROPOSAL TO SPLIT THE WCAG IN THREE. Please read this. I'm serious. For all that I am not in favour of using the results of this to produce three documents, I think this is a very important step to approaching what we are trying to do. I agree that the difference between comprehension and "device independence" is a major source of friction within the group, but I think the answer to that is that we try to listen a bit more carefully to each other, and reduce the friction that goes with working on different things at the same time.

I think that we can find homes for the technology checkpoints. As for leaving access and comprehension together, those are the two areas I am MOST interested in seeing separated, because I think that this intersection is the source of almost all the friction and controversy in this group. Also, I'd like to see a lot more focus on comprehension. And I have some questions, such as, How do we measure success? I would at least like to take a stab at it. Is anyone else willing to help come up with a quick rearrangement of the checkpoints to see what something like this might look like? If it just doesn't work, well, thems the breaks. But I'd really like to give it a try just to see... Chas.
