W3C-WAI / Others, I came across the W3C web site today and learned that the Draft Web Content Accessibility Content Guidelines 2.0 was recently released: Due to the fact that I had submitted a suggestion last fall - upon reviewing the guidelines, I don't believe I saw any suggestions or recommendations that allow consumers to specify their preferred method of communication. If it's in there under Guideline # 5, it does not seem to provide enough specifics or clear as to the need for consumers to use ttys and relay services, etc. Perhaps you might include example(s) and/or refer to Web Form Techniques or something like that. This goes back to the recommendation I had submitted last fall, which I still believe is important - especially for companies that interact and do business with consumers. I'm not saying it should be required or strictly enforced, but should be "recommended" and be pointed out. Businesses themselves can benefit from this recommendation. This suggestion was also included in the recent book published by Jim Thatcher / Glasshaus in "Constructing Accessible Web Sites". Again, the suggestion can be viewed at - which has been updated from time to time. http://www.geocities.com/moorechi/accessibility/index.ht m Please review and I look forward to discussing this matter further, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Also, take notice that my email address has changed. Again, Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. -- Donald L. Moore mooredlm@att.net
