I'm not fussed by either word. I think that the checkpoint actually expresses the requirement of the further proposed checkpoint, which I therefore suggest is redundant and can be dropped.

IJ I prefer "initiate" since that is a concept that applies more widely: changes that the user does not initiate may be disorienting. Also, the expression "activate a form submission" didn't ring well to me. "Submit a form" is the best - any way to rephrase it that way? Please let me know why you prefer "activate" to "initiate". > i also am uncertain about the status of the second proposed checkpoint, which > addresses event handled forms, contained in the post archived at (long URI > warning!) > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999JulSep/0139.html > > has it been dropped, or merely subsumed into 10.6?
