Bug 656 [1] discusses an editorial note in the HTML Techniques [2]. The question is if we need to continue to recommend that authors provide contextual clues in nested lists for the benefit of technologies that do not represent their structure adequately. Sailesh did some testing of Windows technologies [3] and concludes that most but not all recent versions of products provide adequate support. In spite of the fact that the testing is only on Windows and support is not universal, I propose that we deprecate this requirement. We should create a specific technique about contextual clues for nested lists (right now this is just in the preamble to the section on lists), mark it as deprecated, and list user agents for which we know the technique still to be required. Thoughts?
