Hi Gregg, What i try to focus is how we want to apply guideline 4.1 (Use technologies according to specification): - if technologies follow specification, valid code should Be at level 1 - where exist a DTD, for gl 4.1 the developer should respect it. What i ask is that there will be no SC that said: "you can violate dtd in the name of accessibility" due that the reality would be "you can violate dtd in the name of AT bugs" ----- Messaggio originale ----- Da: "Gregg Vanderheiden"<gv@trace.wisc.edu> Inviato: 05/11/05 21.55.24 A: "'Roberto Scano (IWA/HWG)'"<rscano@iwa-italy.org>, "w3c-wai-gl@w3.org"<w3c-wai-gl@w3.org> Oggetto: RE: Summary of arguements FOR validity -- and another against -- and a third of alternatives Hi Roberto, To be sure I understand. You are saying that we should be requiring full conformance rather than just validity? Or are you suggesting some thing less than validity?

Gl 4.1 said: "Guideline 4.1 Use technologies according to specification." The problem are some: - how can said in *any* level that for accessibility is possible to violate specification? - how we define specification? with the always used Flash example (Bob, i'm no against you but is a real case), shall *win* w3c specification or vendor specification? And where ends the vendor specifications? In the object (flash, quicktime, java) or also in the object integration inside w3c markup languages? So, imho, the problem eventually are the requirements of gl 4.1, and not markup validity. [Messaggio troncato. Toccare Modifica->Segna per il download per recuperare la restante parte.]
