18 August draft of User Agent Guidelines / Techniques available

Hello,

I've published the 18 August 2000 draft of the UAAG 1.0 [1] and
UAAG 1.0 Techniques [2] documents. The list of changes [3]
is available online and quoted in text below.

Some of the change have not yet been reviewed by the Working
Group, namely:

 - The changes in conformance wording in 3.2 and 3.3
 - The definition of "recognize"
 - Checkpoints 4.1-4.4, 7.6, 2.3, and 2.5. The other changed
   checkpoints should not be too surprising. I've changed
   11.1 to make a clarification, but open issue 310 deals
   with this checkpoint.

Enjoy,

 - Ian

  General changes

     * I moved some sections around to try to bring the guidelines
closer
       to the top of the document. The primary change was to move the
       section on conformance to section 3. I moved the Acks to after
the
       references based on IETF conventions. I moved the information on
       the structure of the guidelines to the beginning of section 2. I
       moved the informationon related resources to immediately after
the
       table of contents.
     * I added some LINK relationships to the beginning of the document
       that provide recognizable information about alternative formats.
     * I switched the order of the editors' names based on discussion
       with Jon Gunderson.
     * Introduced notion of "responsibility" in introductory prose.

  Changes to Checkpoints

       based on [14]chair resolution of 7.2. (This is the wording from
       the previous version).
     * Checkpoint 7.6: Added list of important elements per resolution
of
       [15]3 Aug teleconf ([16]issue 303 and [17]issue 299).
