The sections are titled: 2 Guidelines, Checkpoints, and Techniques 3 Terms and definitions My comments are based on the February 10th version of the guidelines: http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/WD-WAI-USERAGENT-19990210 In de guidelines: ( 2 ) A chechkpoint answers the question "What should I do to improve accessibility?" Comment: I find the question posed too vague. It seems to imply that the checkpoints tell you what and not where. Maybe: "Where specifically can I improve accessibility?" In the guidelines: ( 3.1 second paragraph ) "in place of the element's content" Comment: I think it should read: "in place of or in addition to the element's content" In the guidelines: ( 3.2 last paragraph ) The italic "author styles" and "user styles" imply that the term style is part of the content of this sub-section. I think style must be introduces properly, e.g. as "A set of properties with pre-defined values (intended to be consistent with eachother)" or something like that. In the guidelines: ( 3.3 fourth paragraph at the end ) "to bring the rendered content into view." Comment: I think it is better to say "into the viewport". - it is already difficult not to associate a visual environment when using the word "viewport", it becomes almost impossible with the wording "into view". - The viewport itself may be out of view! In the guidelines: ( 3.3 last paragraph) Point of regard must be in the title of this section ("3.3 View, viewport, and point of regard"). - Can we link the point of regard to the content? I know that there was a huge discussion on point of regard and that it relates to views, but I find it difficult to associate "a single point" with aural rendering. The point of regard is in effect a position in the content, according to a specific view. (Maybe this comment is best ignored, when it clouds the subject or reopens a discussion). In the guidelines: ( 3.4 The user focus) - The term component comes from nowhere. Readers will wonder if component is the same as element (or not). - The last sentence reads: "The current focus is generally highlighted." I would prefer: "The current focus is generally presented in an alternative way (e.g. highlighted)". Difference can be made now for visual, aural, etc. In the guidelines: ( 3.4 The uset selection) - highlight: see above - "A view may have only one user selection". I think it reads more clear this way: "A view has at most one user selection" or "A view cannot have more than one user selection." Same applies to the insertion point. - The last words: "dynamic braille display". I believe "refreshable braille display" is more commonly used. In the guidelines: ( 3.4 last paragraph ) - Both the current focus and the current selection are mentioned. Isn't the current insertion point missing? - again the "generally highlighted". In the guideline: ( 3.6 ) There could be a reference to the PAGL also. Hope my comments are clear. Hans Riesebos (HRiesebos@alva-bv.nl)
