I think this is very good. Clear and expresses the original meaning. I suggest we use this in the TR release. If we want to question using this at all. then we can still add the editors note. But replacing the old text with this is a winner either way. At least people will be able to read the checkpoint and understand it properly so if they disagree it will be clear what they disagree with. Nice job.

Here's our proposal: Current wording for Checkpoint 4.2, success criterion #1 1. a list of technologies and features, support for which is required in order for the content to be operable, has been determined and the content is still usable when features not on the required list (for example, scripting and stylesheets) are turned off or not supported. Proposed rewording for Checkpoint 4.2, success criterion #1 1. The Web resource includes a list of the technologies users must have in order for its content to work as intended. Users who do not have some of these technologies can still access and use the resource, though the experience may be degraded. Discussion This proposal addresses the original intention of the checkpoint, as Cynthia (who wrote it in the first place) explained it last week. Gregg offered a quite different interpretation of the original wording, which is not addressed here.
