So, I propose the following simplification (I hope simplification): For user agents that offer history mechanisms, when the user returns to a previous view, restore the point of regard in the viewport. And this note: For example, when users navigate "back" and "forth" among views, for each view they should find the viewport position where they left it. > The > standard back and forward buttons of a browser are typical > examples of changing views, I think. So change the note to: For example, when users navigate "back" and "forth" among views, for each view they should find the viewport position where they left it. > For a user agent that is presenting content for people who are > blind this is an especially important feature.

Let me know if this helps. - Ian -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel/Fax: +1 212 684-1814
