Hello, Per my action item of 10 April [1], here is a proposed change to clarify the wording of checkpoint 4.15: <OLD> 4.15 Allow the user to configure how the focus changes. </OLD> <NEW> 4.15 Allow the user to configure whether the focus moves automatically to a viewport that opens without an explicit request from the user. </NEW> Notes: 1) I think the minimal requirement is to prevent focus from moving or to allow it to move. 2) I've added the "explicit request from the user" from 4.16. This might be removed, but I understand the real accessibility problem to be that the user is unaware of the new viewport. 3) Checkpoint 4.16 talks about user interface controls other than viewports. Should this checkpoint be generalized to prompts, alerts, etc.? Refer also to the minutes of 10 April for the proposal to delete 4.16.[2]. The larger requirement of 4.16 could be moved thusly to the revised 4.15. 4) Should this checkpoint be expressed in the negative instead? "Allow the user to configure the focus behavior so that it does not automatically move to a viewport that opens without an explicit request from the user." - Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2000/04/rfbd-20000410#issue-223 [2] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2000/04/rfbd-20000410#issue-224 -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
