-----Original Message----- Your proposal sounds really interesting, and perfectly "catching" most of the basic problems with the topic. Just I'm not sure I fully understand what - validity as a necessary but not sufficient technique for all the success criteria that require something can be 'programmatically determined' - means. Roberto Scano: I think is more clear if you read the definition of "programatically determined": <blockquote cite="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#programmaticallydetermineddef"> <p>programmatically determined means that the specific value can be determined in a standard, machine or software readable form.</p> </blockquote> It is necessary because a software that render the page code must be able to read it and identify elements and attributes that need a second level of control. For example, in the case of table, the caption is programmatically determined but there is need to check if the caption is good... The same with alt attribute, acronym, abbr and every element inside a page.
