Re: [techs] tests 50, 51, 53 and 54 - title

Hi, Chris, 

For each of these tests the Guideline is listed as 3.1 - Ensure that the 
meaning of content can be determined.[1]. The Success Criteria listed is: 
Success Criteria: 4. Delivery units have descriptive titles [2] which is 
really a level 3 success criteria for Guideline 2.4: Provide mechanisms to 
help users find content, orient themselves within it, and navigate through 
it. [3].  And, to top it off the HTML technique for title that is referred 
to in these tests [4] is mapped to Guideline 4.1: Use technologies 
according to specification. [5].

I suspect this has to do with some of the Guidelines and Success Criteria 
moving around.  My proposal would be for the HTML Title technique and the 
tests to refer to Guideline 2.4 Level 3 Success criteria 4. Delivery units 
have descriptive titles. 
regards,

[techs] tests 50, 51, 53 and 54 - title







We had good success of the last group of 'fasttrack' tests [1]. After
discussion on the list and at last weeks teleconference, I've asked Wendy 
to
create a straw poll so the group may accept/reject them.

We have a publishing deadline coming up soon and I'd like to get a few 
more
tests accepted before then. Listed below are 4 more tests that I think we
can get through this week. Please take a look and post your comments and
suggestions to the list.


50 - Document contains a TITLE element.
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test50.html

51 - TITLE is not empty
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test51.html

53 - TITLE is not placeholder text
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test53.html

54 - TITLE describes the document.
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test54.html

Cheers,
Chris
