> Bruce, do you know of web sites that contain alternate versions of files? I think the VA site Andi brought up is not untypical. Here's the index page: http://www1.va.gov/opa/fact/ As an example I pick the first document on that list. The exercise is to try and find the HTML version from the PDF file name or title. I was successful with all of the following. The "filter=0" on the Google query is the same as "repeat the search with the omitted results included", otherwise either the Word or PDF version do not turn up. http://www.index.va.gov/search/va/va_search.jsp?QT=gersrch http://www.index.va.gov/search/va/va_search.jsp?QT="Research+in+VA+Geria trics+Centers+of+Excellence%22 http://www.google.com/search?q=gersrch+site:va.gov&filter=0 http://www.google.com/search?q="Research+in+VA+Geriatrics+Centers+of+Exc ellence%22&filter=0 I believe this satisfies Sufficient Techniques 7: Ability to find the non-conforming version by searching the domain using only the root of the filename in the URI of the non-conforming page or the web page title if that is readily accessible from the non-conforming page. I am of the opinion we should delete the closing conditional phrase here, "if that is readily accessible from the non-conforming page", because there are multiple ways to get the title outside of the non-conforming page.
