Good suggestion. We also aren't using it in any but the standard way so there is no need to define it. OK everyone - I am going to propose DELETING the LINK definition. (Dave - this doesn't affect your suggestion on use of link which I also think is good - but we have to discuss. I would like to see us doing more of that (using common terms with generic if we need to use generic) ) Gregg -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Ind.

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.
