I'd like to propose a change to my proposed wording for the guideline itself. 3.4 Organize page content in a consistent manner and make interactive components act in predictable ways. [This replaces the wording proposed in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2004JanMar/0302.html 3.4 Use layouts that are consistent and make interactive components act in predictable ways.] Rationale for the proposed change: I believe tehg uideline should address page-level organization rather than visual layout. Layout is a way of making organization visible (as well as a way of imposing organization), but the guideline should be capable of addressing the challenge of making organization availble to auditory and tactile experience.
