WCAG 2.0 should not, however, include even informative examples that validate or encourage the remixing abilities of particular favoured adaptive technologies. Authors do not create documents with an intent that they could be randomly reshuffled like decks of cards but still be read and understood perfectly. If we want people to use structured markup, then let them decide what content to include in that structure. There should be no mention whatsoever that certain favoured adaptive technologies can do new and kooky things with headings, links, and other elements. There should be no hint of prohibition against identical link or title texts, for similar reasons. It is up to the author to decide the content of a page, including the content expressed within structural markup. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Author, _Building Accessible Websites_ <http://joeclark.org/access/> | <http://joeclark.org/book/>
