>2. Conformance See my comments from last week >3. open issues, > - Color - Issue 317 Seems to be two basic requirements. The first is that the structure of the document represent distinctions in its markup (rather than them being expressed through dire"ctly applied colour, although the defaqult presentation may very well use colour as the visual indicator). The second is that the default visual presentation provide some clue beyond, or other than, colour, to distinguish things. This is one thing for code, where one might use CSS classes or key off attributes or elements such as ins and del, but it will be more difficult for authors using images in formats that don't allow for CSS-type styling, since it will involve forcing changes to some images. (This is relevant to the current proposal for conformance levels. I still think that proposal is flawed, and more importantly premature in the development of WCAG 2, but it seems worth noting). cheers Chaals
