Your point is a good one. For the most part, however, it seems that the kind of alternative content which you describe is already covered in Priority 1, 1.1. The way that I interpreted the Priority 2 reference to scripts and applets was that the scripts/applets themselves had to be accessible as opposed to an alternative format. Paul Bohman Technology Specialist Web Accessibility in Mind Utah State University Original Message: [...] when applets are used decoratively, e.g. to scroll text, it's pretty simple to have alterative equivalent content that appears when applets are turned off (just put alternative content between the last PARAM and the closing </applet>. In this case the alternative is merely the text that's scrolled, possibly including links. Similarly with some SCRIPTS where it's simple to have a NOSCRIPT. Perhaps your guidelines could make this distinction and be tougher on the simpler cases.
