RE: [wcag2] Definition of 'complex content'

But it makes sense recommending to reduce that complexity, or am I wrong?
(And that's what I meant at all, though maybe misleadingly formulated.)

But ain't it quite important to define 'content' first? And then, we could
e.g. offer a definition for complex content as well as complex presentations
including a note that some people might have problems understanding
information then.


Roberto:

And what do you (all) perceive as a presentation? (To me, that's almost
always associated with infamous Powerpoint slides. And thus has nearly
nothing to do with Web accessibility. Presentational aspects of a Web
interface seem like something different to me.)

I propose to define this term as well, then deciding how to proceed.


Best regards,
