I have created two drafts of the scripting technique format that try to capture baseline information for the technique.   The goal is to explain what technologies the technique relies upon and to provide any fallback information if the technology is not available.  In meetings we have also talked about assigning each script into a particular category.  The category  is still not well represented in these examples but I tried to include whether or not a technique is sufficient to satisfy the guideline or it is advisory.

I tried to create the examples using real techniques to help the conversation. These are rough drafts of proposed techniques so for now, please do not comment on the technique itself but rather on the proposed formats and information that relates to baseline.

Example 1 puts the information in a separate section with headings representing: HTML only;, JavaScript and CSS available and enabled; and JavaScript and CSS available but not enabled.   Is this the type of information we want to include?  What other headings could we use?  How can we mark the category of this technique?  Are "sufficient" and "advisory" appropriate terms or are there better descriptions?  

Example 2 uses a table to try and capture what technologies the technique can be used with.   The column heading "Type" is used to capture the category of the technique - this needs a better description.  

These files use style sheets from WCAG so they are best viewed with an available internet connection.
