Yes, I take your point. Maybe it is an issue that needs to be addressed at a later stage, as it could serve as a distraction for the issues on hand at present. But I do think it should be tackled before it is a published recommendation, as it is important to create some sense of being able to view the issues or present them in an educational way within a medium that will be most "accessible" to the web development community at large, and it is a great opportunity to leverage the most impact.

Hi Geoff, I think there are two issues here. One is whether priority is a good ordering principle within a guideline, and I believe that it is. I think that is not a very cntroversial idea, but at this stage we haven't prioritised the guidelines/checkpoints/techniques or decided finally exactly which parts should carry priority. Seperately, there is a question of whether a different order is more useful for learning (or for that matter for some other audience). Although I agree with you about a different order being helpful for helping people to learn the principles of accessibility, I am not sure that we should be trying to decide the best order of presentation before we have settled threquirements being listed. (I realise that they are to some extent inter-related, so we may go a couple of cycles of each step influencing the other a bit when we do get there).

I feel they could better address the nature of structured web development by reordering them. There can be an advantage to reorder them in helping to prioritize the issues for communicating and identifying the major issues in the development of Web Content, as applied to Accessibility.
