RE: Proposal for support personlization AA from John, Chris, Jan and myself

hi Jason

I agree that the AAA the word "modified" should be removed. The AAA might not be  quite finished yet.
I am also happy with the "user interface component" change


Any objections? Chris? John?


All the best

     @(AA):
 In content implemented using markup languages, the purpose of conventional controls[1] can be consistently, programmatically determined across a set of web pages.
 [Jason] By “consistently” do you mean by the same means, or something more? That is, are you trying to ensure that the same representation is used everywhere within a set of conforming pages, or is there more to it? I think clarification would be helpful either in the text of the proposal or in a definition.

 [Jason] I don’t know what “modifying” the purpose of a “conventional control” amounts to, or how to satisfy this aspect of the proposal. If you mean that the state or value of the conventional control can be modified (i.e., “programmatically set”), then that’s already in 4.1.2, indeed for all user interface components rather than just for those you list. If you really intend modification of the purpose, then it isn’t clear what that would entail. I suggest dropping the “and modified” provision, or clarifying and rewriting it.
 Also, consider whether to use the term “user interface component” (already in WCAG) rather than “control” in the proposal. Having two synonymous or almost synonymous terms in the document is only likely to be confusing.
