Time Limits: For each time limit set by the content where user-entered data can be lost, the user is advised about the length of the time limit at the start of the process, unless any user-entered data is preserved for at least 24 hours after the limit is reached.
* Real-time Exception: The time limit is a required part of a real-time event (for example, an auction), and the length of the time limit is not known.
How’s that sound?
[Jason] This is better, although I don’t support the proposal as it stands – I think we need either the parallel success criterion to 2.2.1 that removes options 2 and 3, or the refinement of 2.2.5 that was considered at the meeting for inclusion at Level AA. Thus, I think the above is an improvement to the proposal, but I don’t favor the proposal as I think its claimed benefits are over-stated and it doesn’t address the underlying user need well.
Jason,
From the original email in this thread, option 1 was simply to inform people about the limit, and option 2 is this version, which adds the exclusion if the site can retain the user’s data for 24 hours.
We were talking about moving 2.2.5 up to AA, but that will be a next step.
As far as not addressing the user need, I think that we have heard very clearly from the COGA group that they feel that this does have a substantial benefit for users with cognitive disabilities. You’ve said that this is the reason that you don’t support the proposal. Can you live with it?
