Hello all The WAI Protocols and Formats Working Group (PFWG) invites review and comments on the XML Accessibility Guidelines first public working draft: Published at: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlgl Dated version at: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-xmlgl-20010829 See the review process details in the document status (reproduced below). Thanks. Abstract ======== This document explains how to design accessible applications using XML, the Extensible Markup Language. Compared to the HTML or MathML languages, XML is one level up: it is a meta syntax used to describe these languages, as well as new ones. As a meta syntax, XML provides no intrinsic guarantee of device independence or textual alternate support. It is essential, therefore, that XML formats and tools designers are provided with guidelines that explain how to include basic accessibility features - such as those present in HTML, SMIL, and SVG - in all their new developments. Status of this document ======================= This document is a Working Draft made available by the WAI Protocols and Formats Working Group (PFWG), for review by W3C members and other interested parties. The PF group operates as part of the WAI Technical Activity. Depending on the feedback received, this document may become a W3C Note, be integrated in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines suite (e.g as a technique for XML) or enter its own Recommendation track. Please send comments about the content of this document and how you would like to see it evolving to the publicly archived mailing list: wai-tech-comments@w3.org. Comments on this version can be sent until September 31th, 2001. Send minor editorial comments directly to the editors.
