RE Parent Child relationships in Understanding WCAG 2.0. We have to list the advisory techniques under the advisory section - no matter what kind they are (general, html etc). Otherwise there is confusion between advisory and sufficient. So technology specific techniques may appear in the sufficient section and (different) technology specific techniques may be in the advisory section. Different General may appear in both places as well. "Technology-Specific VS General" and "Sufficient techniques/combinations VS Advisory" are two different dimensions. You need to be able to have both in both. But we only have combinations in Sufficient section. Gregg -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Ind. Engr. & BioMed Engr.

If there are no Situations, the general techniques are listed in place of Situation A, that is, at level 3. I'm not sure why this outline shows <General Techniques> within <Optional Techniques>. I agree that for consistency, we should adopt one of the conventions: 1. Unless a technique is listed in a Technology-Specific section, it is a general (technology independent) technique, or 2. All general techniques occur within <General Techniques> sections, and we use them within Situation sections and the Techniques Section as well as the Optional Techniques section. My preference is for the first option, but we should at least be consistent. I've also see SC where we added Technology-Specific sections beneath Common Failures. The same convention should apply there. Perversely enough, "Use technology-specific techniques to accomplish XXX" is a general technique.

Adding additional layers of labels makes it even harder to understand the relationships between the different pieces. It just adds one more "link" to follow before you finally reach the information about the technique. Can't we just add technology independent techniques to the optional section, before the technology-specific subsections?

Either - in a sufficiency statement Or - in an advisory area. We used to have the sufficient ones listed just after the sufficiency section but it seemed so redundant that we removed it. Anything that is a link in the sufficient section is a tech indep technique. Having a section for them seemed to make sense but . can't figure out how to do it without having duplication repetitively in a duplicative fashion.
