Here's the text we agreed on for Guideline 1.1 yesterday. I'll be sending
a summary of issues resolved by these changes later today.

Level 1 Success Criteria for Guideline 1.1

one of the following is true: (definition for explicitly associated is
needed)

 a. For non-text content that is functional, such as graphical links or
buttons, text alternatives identify the purpose or function of the
non-text content; or,

 b. for non-text content that is used to convey information, text
alternatives convey the same information; or,  

 c. for non-text content that is intended to create a specific sensory
experience, such as music or visual art, text alternatives

 d. non-text content that does not provide information or functionality is
marked such that it can be ignored by assistive technology.
