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,
