Currently we have a number of success criteria that talk about delivery units. However, the delivery unit is anything you can get with an HTTP request. (All of the sc that the term delivery unit is used in our guidelines are listed at the bottom of this email.) So a page with all of its images is a D U. But each image by itself is also a D U. The problem is 1. the images don't pass our guidelines 2. if you make any kind of claim for your site (or any URI pattern) it would include the URI's for the images etc (unless you stored the images off in some remote location) This is not what we intend. After looking at this for awhile Ben and John and I are suggesting that perhaps we focus on the delivery unit you get from a user request and not the subsequent delivery units that are fetched as part of it. To do this we would need to define a new entity. John, Ben and I have discussed and examined this and are proposing a new term "Web Unit" that would replace all occurrences of Delivery Unit in the guidelines and related documents. Take a look. Think hard. And then send your comments. Web Unit (e.g. Page) A collection of information, consisting of one or more resources, intended to be rendered together, and identified by a single Uniform Resource Identifier (URLs etc.). NOTE: This term was adapted from the definition of web page in Device Independent group and Web Characterization Terminology & Definitions Sheet except concept of simultaneity was removed to allow the term to cover interactive multimedia content. Example 1: A web page including all embedded images and media. Example 2: An interactive movie like shopping environment where the user navigates about and activates products to have them demonstrated, and moves them to cart to buy them. Here are all the occurrences of Delivery Unit. 2.2.2 [P/D] Content does not blink <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#blinksdef> for more than 3 seconds, or a method is available to stop any blinking content in the delivery unit <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#deliveryunitdef> .
