Gregg says: <gregg> 1 - tables are listed as non-hierarchical which is not really best. Would suggest tables be moved out from the 'non-hierarchical" category and put by themselves in the same sentence. 2 - the picture example may imply that we are requiring that all pictures be done in SVG and be fully marked up in hierarchical fashion. I think that example might be better in techniques where it can be explained better and looked at as where we want to go someday - not what is required for level 1 conformance - which is implied by making part of the definition of the term used in level 1 </gregg> These two examples were part of the "definition of Structure" before my action item. I just added a sentence to the end of the definition. But since I'm here already, here is a repost of my action item with the above recommendations. The mention of tables and headers might be a bit HTML specific but since it's in the appendix of definition perhaps its forgivable. structure Structure includes both hierarchical structure of the content and non-hierarchical relationships such as cross-references. <new>It also refers to the correspondence between header and data cells in a table.</new> The hierarchical structure of content represents changes in context. For example, 1. A book is divided into chapters, paragraphs, lists, etc. Chapter titles help the reader anticipate the meaning of the following paragraphs. Lists clearly indicate separate, yet related ideas. All of these divisions help the reader anticipate changes in context. <new> [deleted the bicycle image example]</new> <new>We refer to structure as it is perceived by a User Agent such as a browser on the client side. </new>
