Small editorial suggestion. Old (18 August 2000): Recognize A user agent is said to recognize a piece of information when the user agent developer has designed it to handle that information. A user agent clearly recognizes those features of markup or style languages that it implements and the semantics of the user interface controls that it provides. User agents may not understand everything the author has encoded in content, such as the semantics of XML elements unknown to the user agent, whether the text and title of a link accurately describe the linked resource, or whether a script is calculating a factorial. A user agent does not recognize everything that a script does, even though it may implement the scripting language. However, it will recognize some information encoded in scripts, such as code to open a viewport or retrieve a resource from the Web. The Techniques document [UAAG10-TECHS] lists some markup known to affect accessibility that should be recognized by user agents. New: Same as Old except remove the word "clearly" from the second sentence. =========================== Eric G.
