RE: RELATED ISSUE AUTHORED UNIT

I am fairly certain that some of the references below are meant to be perceivable unit and not delivery unity.  I am still not clear in the difference in meaning between the (current) perceivable unit and the (proposed) web unit.
 
Consider a "web page" consisting of a couple or three frames.  Obviously, this constitutes a single Web Unit.  I think it also constitutes a single perceivable unit.  How then, does an SC like 2.4.4 make sense with the new term?
 
2.4.4 (as proposed):  Web Units have titles.
 
Is only one title required per Web Unit?
Sometimes a Web Unit is a page, sometimes it is only part of a page?
Sometimes a Web Unit is a Delivery Unit, sometimes it is a Perceivable Unit?
 
I suspect that replacing some instances of Delivery Unit in the SC with Perceivable Unit will eliminate much of the confusion.  Some of those can even be replaced with just "content".  Mind you, I am no fan of the whole authored/delivery/perceivable unit vernacular, but Web Unit seems to introduce as many problems as it solves, and it is almost as opaque.
 
I still like:
 
Structure:
1.      The way the parts of content are organized in relation to each other and;
2.      The way content is organized.

No 

 

If you download a page - the page is a D U.  But every image on the page is also a D U.  

 

With the Web Unit - only the page is a W U.   

 

This is important because most of our guidelines where we say  D U  cannot be met by most Delivery Units.   So we can use Delivery Unit as currently defined and we can't re-define it.

Isn't the (old) "perceivable unit" the same thing that is meant by (new) Web Unit?  As per Gregg's note earlier today, the only SC that uses perceivable unit is 2.4.3.  Both delivery unit and perceivable unit are used to define content however.

The simple term "content" works well in the definition of structure (below).

The only place we use AUTHORED UNIT is in the definition of Structure

structure

1.      The way the parts of an authored < http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#authored-unitdef>  unit are organized in relation to each other and;

2.      The way a collection of authored units is organized in relation to a delivery unit and;

3.      The way a collection of delivery < http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/appendixA.html#deliveryunitdef>  units is organized

Suggest that we change this definition to

structure

1.      The way the parts of an Web Unit are organized in relation to each other and;

2.      The way a collection of Web units is organized.

(If we use a term other than Web Unit - substitute the new word for Web Unit above. )
