NOFRAMES as Alternative Equivalent One point advocated by gregory is that NOFRAMES content be available through the UI and that this should be a requirement for complying with Checkpoint 2.1. Whether we change the wording of checkpoint 2.1 or not both the new version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 for the Macintosh and Opera 3.60 for Windows allow themselves to be configured to render NOFRAMES content instead of the frame content. These examples could be included in the techniques document for the checkpoint. I prefer Ian's poposal[1] to reduce the wording of the checkpoint 2.1 to just talk specifically about alternative equivalents through the UI, since we already have a checkpoint that requires all content be available through an API. The accessibility of other content rendered through the User Interface visually or aurally is already accounted for in other checkpoints. If there is something not included in the other checkpoints that was assumed to be part of 2.1 we could propose to add another "clarifying" checkpoint. But I don't think we have one right now. If anyone can think of one please send it to the list as soon as possible.
