Based on this discussion around a link definition I would like to bring us back to an unresolved issue around "programmatic reference" that has an unclosed bug #1649. I like the word "link" because everyone understands it. <current> 2.4.5 Each programmatic reference to another delivery unit or to another location in the same delivery unit, is associated with text describing the destination. </current> <proposed> 2.4.5 Each link to another delivery unit or to another location in the same delivery unit, is associated with text describing the destination. <proposed> Or if for some reason there are those who are attached to programmatic reference. <proposed_2> 2.4.5 Each link or other programmatic reference to another delivery unit or to another location in the same delivery unit, is associated with text describing the destination. <proposed_2> If we use "Programmatic reference" we will need a definition in the glossary which I don't think contains this term yet. I had proposed a few. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2006JanMar/0043.html However, I would rather use "link" and define that in the glossary.

It also includes judgments as to what the SC means. Can we think of a way to qualify this so we don't have to say this in the definition? Maybe use "User Links" or "hyperlink" or something Here is what we have link hyperlink between the current document and a single destination. NOTE: "Link" refers to a single "arc" in the XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.0 specification.) Only links that are available to be activated by the user need to meet accessibility requirements. This excludes links that are activated automatically or programmatically. </blockquote> Unless I overlooked something, the term 'link' is not used in the success criteria (November 2005 public draft or 17 January 2006 internal draft). SC 2.4.5 uses the term 'programmatic reference', and the thread that started at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2006JanMar/0043.html tried to find a more readable term. 'Hyperlink' was seen as to closely associated with HTTP; but 'hyperlinks and other programmatic references' was also suggested.
