Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 - "handles"


annotated by Giorgio Brajnik on July 13 2003 with addition of English and Italian handles.

Rationale: I thought of a user LIFT that can see these short names as references for the checkpoints. I would like these short names to keep as much meaning as possible, and actually express something (like 'keyboard operable' rather than just 'keyboard').
