Hello, Please consider the following editorial changes (reference: the 18 August Guidelines [1]) 1) Delete the following sentence from checkpoint 1.1: "The device-independence required by this checkpoint applies to the functionalities described by the other checkpoints in this document (e.g., installation, documentation, user agent user interface configuration, etc.)." Comments: a) The intent is redundant with the first sentence of the checkpoint. b) This could be edited and moved to the note after the checkpoint: device independence is implicit in all the other checkpoints since covered in 1.1. 2) Delete the word "device" from checkpoint 1.2: 1.2 Use the standard input and output <DEL>device</DEL> APIs of the operating system. Do not bypass the standard output APIs when rendering information. The resolution to issue 255 [2] for this checkpoint reads: "Use the standard input and output APIs of the operating system." 3) Change second sentence of checkpoint 1.3 to talk about when checkpoint doesn't apply rather than when it does: <OLD> This checkpoint always applies on systems with a standard keyboard API. </OLD> <NEW> This checkpoint does not apply when the operating system does not have a standard keyboard API </NEW> 4) Clarify statement in section 3.8 on user interface by default: While the following paragraph is true: "Each checkpoint requirement must be satisfied by making information or functionalities available through the user agent's user interface unless the checkpoint explicitly states that the requirement must be met by making information available through an Application Programming Interface (API)." it would be more precise to add "These checkpoints are labeled 'checkpoints for communication with other software.'" - Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/WD-UAAG10-20000818 [2] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2000/04/rfbd-20000411#issue-255 -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
