General technique are sometimes sufficient in themselves and sometime they need to be implemented USING a technology specific technique and sometime they just need to be used in combination with a technology specific technique (or another general technique). Everything that is sufficient is numbered. If there is one thing - then it is sufficient by itself. If there is more than one thing (usually connected by the word "USING" or "AND" then the combination is sufficient. Examples often include specific technologies, and specific topic and even web site names. These are just examples and not limited to that technology or that topic or to websites that have that name. We would like to vary the technologies in our examples more but are trying to not get into proprietary technologies in our documents very much. So we use or overuse W3C technologies in examples. Suggestions always welcome. Gregg -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Ind. Engr. & BioMed Engr.

I'm still not sure of the relationship between the general techniques and technology specific techniques. Some general techniques have associated technology specific techniques. For example G134 (Validating web units) have associated technology specific techniques H74 and H75. Other general techniques such as G1 (add a skip to content link) have no associated technology specific techniques. Within the general techniques there are sometimes technology specific examples and references. Is there a clear explanation and description of the 2 types of techniques? Should the text within the general techniques that is technology specific be moved to a specific technique? Cheers, Chris
