Re: Must "technologies being used" be in a SC's text, if that SC has support in 2 technologies?

No, but in terms of language communicating what we mean effectively, this isn’t it. If all the relevant formats support it, then we don’t need it either.



> Oh you miss the meaning of   “if technology supports it”.   For example,   if PDF supports it.     or  IF SVG supports it.

All the current ‘major’ ones I listed do, so we don’t need to say that, depending on the next point:


> Those out there consulting and evaluating — are HTML/CSS/JS/SVG & PDF   the only technologies being use to create websites these days?    Also, Is EPUB  directly viewable from browsers  (current or future)?

Well, that includes me (consulting & evaluating), and the formats we receive for reviews are (ordered by popularity):

-       HTML stack (inc CSS/JS/SVG),

-       Mobile apps,

-       PDF, and

-       ePub. (Accessible in a browser with a plugin, but that is unusual at the moment).

Flash and Silverlight haven’t figured for a long time and, as I noted before, Flash is being actively blocked by default browsers [1].

Does anyone else get different things that you would consider ‘web content’?
