RE: [teitac-websoftware] Color

Reads a bit better, but I still see a problem in using 'difference'; after all what information is conveyed by sameness in color?

My preferred wording, as I've suggested in WCAG, is to use color coding

1.4.1 Use of Color: Any information that is conveyed by color coding <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/#informationbycolordef> is also simultaneously evident visually without the color coding.

I think Sailesh's edit is a good editorial one to make.


CHANGE  "simultaneously visually evident",   TO   "simultaneously evident visually"

ALSO another related (non Sailesh) change
 CHANGE  "conveyed by color differences"  TO    "conveyed by difference in color"

Does anyone think that is less clear or changes the meaning?
Here is the context.
CURRENT WORDING
1.4.1 Use of Color: Any information that is conveyed by color differences <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/#informationbycolordef> is also simultaneously visually evident without the color differences

PROPOSED NEW WORDING

1.4.1 Use of Color: Any information that is conveyed by difference in color <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/#informationbycolordef> is also simultaneously evident visually without the color difference.

"Difference in color"  between parts of content is the key. So I vote for the WCAG2 statement and Greg's reasoning if I may.
That statement precisely conveys the evaluation criterion.
In the WCAG2 statement  I suggest a small editorial change:
Instead of "simultaneously visually evident", I feel "simultaneously  evident visually" reads better without loss of meaning.
