Better practice would be to put the correct example first and the things to avoid after that. Or just publish the thing we'd like to recommend and omit the bad examples altogether.

Hoitink Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 9:32 am To: w3c-wai-gl@w3.org Subject: HTML techniques - Image and text link side by side examples (No blocker) In the techniques document, there is a technique about using image and text links side by side: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-HTML-TECHS-20031020.html#imag etex tlinks> There are three examples that accompany this technique. However, the first two are the 'don'ts' and the third one is the correct example. Can't we use mark-up to show that the first two are unwanted examples, for instance like the illegal examples in the HTML spec section 11.2? <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html> Especially when reading technical documents, people tend to gloss over the text and look straight at the examples to see how the technique should be applied. I think it must be very clear if examples are given for unwanted situations. Yvette Hoitink CEO Heritas, Enschede, The Netherlands
