Hello, I've published the 28 July 2000 UA Guidelines [1] and Techniques [2] documents (refer to the list of changes [3], which have been quoted below). The issues list [4] and Determining Conformance to the UA Guidelines [5] are up to date. The latter indicates which checkpoints have not yet had their minimal requirements finalized; it is based on an earlier draft, but corresponds closely in checkpoint numbering to this draft. I implemented Eric's proposed multimedia definitions in this draft, but did not yet re-read the document to see whether all the terms are used consistently in the document (This is on my todo list). I incorporated some editorial changes that are also on the issues list but are so benign that I incorporated them in this draft. These are: a) Rewrote checkpoint 7.2 to try to clarify. b) Added a statement to the definition of active element about when elements may be inactive c) Added a note to checkpoint 8.8 to clarify that it's about semantics, not rendering. Happy reading, - Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/WD-UAAG10-20000728 [2] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/WD-UAAG10-TECHS-20000728/ [3] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/wai-ua-wd-changes.html [4] http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html [5] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2000/05/ua-minreqs CHANGES: Versions WD-UAAG10-20000728 and WD-UAAG10-TECHS-20000728 General changes * The word "presentation" is no longer used to mean rendering. * Added Tim Lacy to active list of WG participants. Changes to Guidelines * Guideline 1: Added some information to rationale based on [7]G1 comments from Eric Hansen. * Guideline 3: Made some changes to prose of guideline to account for [8]proposal to make G3 about global configuration only. Added cross references from checkpoints in G3 to checkpoints in G4. Refer to resolution at [9]27 July teleconference. Changes to Checkpoints * 2.6: Added a Note that this is a repair checkpoint. * 3.2: New. Added per [10]27 July teleconference. * 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5: Now about configuration to not render globally per [11]27 July teleconference. * Edited Also, deleted the applicability part (about using font families) based on a [12]4.1 request from CMN. * 4.9: Volume control of synchronized sources. Refer to resolution of [13]13 July teleconference. * 4.11: New (old, actually) about synthesized speech. Refer to resolution of [14]13 July teleconference. * 6.1: Updated with min reqs per [15]13 July teleconference. * 7.2: Editorial changes in part based on a [16]suggestion from CMN. * 7.5: Search requirements changed per resolution of [17]. 8.1: Updated per [18]13 July teleconference. Also, edited Note after checkpoint. * 8.2, 8.3: Rewritten to make sense for a set of links (not just a single link) and to make the minimal rendering reqs per the [19]27 July teleconference. * 8.8: Added a note that this checkpoint is only about semantics, not presentation (refer to [20]issue 301). * 10.4: Modified per [21]27 July teleconference. Note: The checkpoint does not refer to a minimal list of functionalities yet since there is a [22]proposal for changing 10.8. * 10.5: Now about keyboard only, per the [23]27 July teleconference. Refer to Note about changes to 10.4. * 14.3, 14.4: Updated like 8.2 and 8.3 per the [24]27 July teleconference. Also added requirement that default focus highlight be different from default selection highlight Changes to Glossary * To definition of active element, added a sentence about elements that are sometimes inactive (refer to [25]issue 298). * Added a paragraph about "levels of configuration/control" to those defintions. * Implemented [26]Eric's multimedia terms. However, I did not review the impact of this change in the document. Changes to References * Added WEBCHAR for terminology. Changes to Techniques While there were a few changes to the techniques document, they are not really worth documenting. -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
