Tim, Thank you for helping ensure we are consistent with other W3C documents. FYI: I looked up definitions in the W3C glossary [1] and many of the definitions came from W3C sources. Some verbatim, some I used similar language but attempted to use plain language because of our intended audience. Here's the history: * text - based on XML 1.1 spec [2], similar to UAAG 1.0 [5] * unicode - combo of I18N text [3] and unicode [7] * content - essential components of web accessibility [4] * functional - no w3c definition that fit my needs. most talk about "functions" as in mathematical or programming. wanted something higher level. looked to dictionary.com * non-text content - similar to but simpler than uaag 1.0 definitions [6] Best, --wendy [1] <http://www.w3.org/2003/glossary/> [2] <http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml11-20040204/#charsets> [3] <http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/en/all.html#Slide0040> [4] <http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/components> [5] <http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/glossary.html#def-text> [6] <http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/glossary.html#def-non-text-content> [7] <http://www.unicode.org/standard/WhatIsUnicode.html> -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI/ /--
