I think it's important to be able to tell very quickly which criteria are the minimum, and have that info built into the numbering scheme. #2 and #3 both do this. Either one of these is fine with me. #3 is clearest when reading the doc, but the bracketed info might get dropped in discussions and/or 3rd party summaries, loosing the level context. #2 has the info built right into the number, so it can't get dropped, but the numbers are bit long. I'm not sure which is better. -----Original Message----- From: Wendy A Chisholm [mailto:wendy@w3.org] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 7:22 AM To: w3c-wai-gl@w3.org At the July face to face, we agreed to uniquely number each success criterion. The editors have come up with 4 proposals for discussion. Please choose the method you prefer or suggest an alternative. Option #1: Number success criteria sequentially (no conformance information): You will have successfully met Checkpoint 1.1 at the Minimum Level if: 1.1.1 Non-text content that can be expressed in words has a text-equivalent explicitly associated with it. 1.1.2 Non-text content that can not be expressed in words has a descriptive label provided as its text-equivalent. + The text equivalent should fulfill the same function as the author intended for the non-text content (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content). You will have successfully met Checkpoint 1.1 at Level 2 if: 1.1.3 The text-equivalent has been reviewed and is believed to fulfill the same function as the author intended for the non-text content (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content) 1.1.4 A conformance claim associated with the content asserts conformance to this checkpoint at level 2. ====== Option #2 structure the numbering to reflect the conformance level of each checkpoint. You will have successfully met Checkpoint 1.1 at the Minimum Level if: 1.1.1.1 Non-text content that can be expressed in words has a text-equivalent explicitly associated with it. 1.1.1.2 Non-text content that can not be expressed in words has a descriptive label provided as its text-equivalent. + The text equivalent should fulfill the same function as the author intended for the non-text content (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content). You will have successfully met Checkpoint 1.1 at Level 2 if: 1.1.2.1 The text-equivalent has been reviewed and is believed to fulfill the same function as the author intended for the non-text content. (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content) 1.1.2.2 A conformance claim associated with the content asserts conformance to this checkpoint at level 2. ========== Option #3 include conformance level in brackets after each sequential numbering You will have successfully met Checkpoint 1.1 at the Minimum Level if: 1.1.1 [Minimum] Non-text content that can be expressed in words has a text-equivalent explicitly associated with it. 1.1.2 [Minimum] Non-text content that can not be expressed in words has a descriptive label provided as its text-equivalent. + The text equivalent should fulfill the same function as the author intended for the non-text content (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content). You will have successfully met Checkpoint 1.1 at Level 2 if: 1.1.3 [Level 2] the text-equivalent has been reviewed and is believed to fulfill the same function as the author intended for the non-text content (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content) 1.1.4 [Level 2] a conformance claim associated with the content asserts conformance to this checkpoint at level 2. ========== Option #4 Identify criteria by letter (e.g., a-c, instead of 1-3) and include conformance level You will have successfully met Checkpoint 1.1 at the Minimum Level if: 1.1-1a Non-text content that can be expressed in words has a text-equivalent explicitly associated with it. 1.1-1b Non-text content that can not be expressed in words has a descriptive label provided as its text-equivalent. + The text equivalent should fulfill the same function as the author intended for the non-text content (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content). You will have successfully met Checkpoint 1.1 at Level 2 if: 1.1-2a The text-equivalent has been reviewed and is believed to fulfill the same function as the author intended for the on-text content (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content) 1.1-2b A conformance claim associated with the content asserts conformance to this checkpoint at level 2. -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI/ /--
