A. I think configuration is an important component at this point since we do not have alot of good information on what will work in actual practice Checkpoint proposal: Allow the user to configure the types of document changes they would like to be alerted too Priority: 1 or 2 Compatibility: Dependent user agents Potential configuration parameters: 1. Changes to text content in a document 2. Changes in position in a document 3. Changes in images in a document 4. Changes in color in a document 5. Changes in font face or style in a document 6. Changes in rendered text (changes in DISPLAY property of CSS) in document 7. Changes in form controls in the document 8. Changes in hidden information (probably not of any use though, since information is not normally rendered) in the document These items could be more roughly be broken down into the two categories defined by CMN in his initial mail on this issue: content and style B. Potential techniques/checkpoints related to informing the user about changes Checkpoint proposal: Inform the user of changes in the document due to scripting events Priority: 1 Compatibility: Dependent user agents Techniques: The user is informed of a change in the document and can access a list of document changes. Selecting an item from the list moves the users focus (point-of-reguard) to the changed information. The list is limited to the changes the user identified in the configuration section on document changes. The list would indicate the type of change that occured in the document, the element type that changed and some type of positional information about the element. The user would be able to return to the oringal focus before searching for the document changes at any time. C. Desktop Graphical User agents need to export information related to changes in the document This would be part of the section on compatibility. We already have a checkpoint for document change information being exported.
