Hello, Please consider for discussion the following proposed minimal requirements for these checkpoints (from the 10 June 2000 draft [1]): 1) Checkpoint 6.1 Implement the accessibility features of supported specifications (markup languages, style sheet languages, metadata languages, graphics formats, etc.). Note: In UAAG 1.0, this is not a relative priority checkpoint. Therefore, it is P1 to implement all accessibility features. Proposed Minimum: If the specification or another document indicates what features benefit accessibility, be sure to implement those. Implement those features that satisfy the requirements of the three WAI guidelines. [Note that this is almost circular since checkpoint 6.1 is a requirement of UAAG 1.0. This means: if the spec refers to something that is addressed as an accessibility feature of a UA, implement it.] 2) Checkpoint 8.1 Make available to the user the author-specified purpose of each table and the relationships among the table cells and headers. Proposed Minimum: For graphical user agents, it is sufficient to render a table as a two-dimensional grid with header information, and to make available all content per checkpoint 2.1. 3) Checkpoint 2.7 For author-identified but unsupported natural languages, allow the user to request notification of language changes in content. Proposed minimum: Indicate the language change in content. 4) Checkpoint 8.2 Indicate to the user whether a link has been visited. Proposed minimum: Graphically, at least one option that is not based on color. The user must also have this information available programmatically. For CSS user agents, implement CSS pseudo-elements, which allows user styling. 5) Checkpoint 8.3 Indicate to the user whether a link has been marked up to indicate that following it will involve a fee. Proposed minimum: Graphically, at least one option that is not based on color. -Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/WD-UAAG10-20000610/ -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
