As I posted in my earlier message [1] I think the only way to prevent disorientation is not rendering the text and indicate the absence of rendering. Remember this is only a priority 3 checkpoint. I suggest: <NEW> 2.7 Allow the user to configure the user agent so that content recognized as an unsupported natural language is not rendered (suppressed) to the user. Instead the user agent must indicate the absence of the original content in context (e.g., with a text message or with an icon, analogous to the common "missing image" message) Note: For example, if the user agent does not have a font available to render Japanese, render "[Japanese text]" (in an appropriate natural language) instead. Or use an accessible icon that indicates an unsupported language. </NEW> [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2000JulSep/0093.html Jon Gunderson, Ph.D., ATP Coordinator of Assistive Communication and Information Technology Division of Rehabilitation - Education Services MC-574 College of Applied Life Studies University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign 1207 S.
