I though we agreed that in-process communication should be highlighted as a technique. I propose the following edit: <PROPOSED> This checkpoint is designed to reduce delays that an assistive technology user might experience due to communication overhead. Timely exchange is import for preventing loss of information, a risk when changes in content occur faster than the exchange with the assistive technology. One effective technique for providing timely access is to allow assistive technologies to run in the same process space as the user agent, thus eliminating inter-application communication delays. </PROPOSED> - Ian -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel/Fax: +1 212 684-1814 or 212 532-4767 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
