Apropos the subject line, what's a "3.2"? > For example, I still do not agree that unique page titles can not be > level one, and I think there is a fair amount of agreement on this Let's see. You run a very large database-driven site whose pages do not exist until they are requested by the visitor. Please explain how every single page <title> can be unique, especially if the pages are search results. What if you were searching for 20 different terms at once? Then separately for 20 different terms? What would the page <title>s be? *Real* *examples*, please, not blandishments and diktats. Prove it can be done in real-world sites. > also important maybe level 1: provide headings and linked text that are > unique and clear when read out of context Still an appallingly misguided and irrelevant concept. As has been demonstrated already, page authors cannot be expected to simultaneously write valid HTML and also write HTML that can be spontaneously remixed by some user agent or other. How many times do I have to tell you this before you believe it? Skill-testing question: If Freedom Scientific comes out with another whiz-bang feature, as they did with browsing by headings and links, will WAI WG obediently turn around and flirt with the idea of forcing authors to write their sites to facilitate this company-specific peccadillo? > But this is both testable and normative > > "All terms used are available in a linked to, fully accessible simple > language lexicon, or supplementary lexicon of topic specific Jargon" Give me a break. I won't let anyone tell me I have to link every word I write to a lexicon, and neither will any other writer. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Author, _Building Accessible Websites_ <http://joeclark.org/access/> | <http://joeclark.org/book/>
