Hello, Marja Koivunen has pointed out to me that checkpoints 4.14 and 4.15 of the 1 September Guidelines have minor problems. The checkpoints are: <OLD> 4.14 Allow the user to configure how the selection is highlighted (e.g., foreground and background color). Offer at least three rendering options, including colors and fonts. Allow the user to select from among the range of system colors and fonts. [Priority 1] 4.15 Allow the user to configure how the content focus is highlighted (e.g., foreground and background color). Offer at least three rendering options, including colors and fonts. Allow the user to select from among the range of system colors and fonts. The default focus highlight mechanism must be different from the default selection highlight mechanism. [Priority 1] </OLD> The problems are: a) Neither checkpoint talks about non-visual highlighting b) Neither checkpoint includes a minimum requirement for non-visual highlighting. To address this, I propose the following changes: 1) List "voice pitch" as an example of how audio highlighting might be done. 2) Specify that the minimal requirements mentioned (fonts and colors) apply to graphical user agents. 3) Do not include minimal requirements for non-visual highlighting, but add a cross reference to checkpoint 4.12 (speech parameter control). <NEW> Allow the user to configure how the selection is highlighted (e.g., foreground and background color, voice pitch, etc.). For graphical user interfaces, offer at least three rendering options, including colors and fonts. Allow the user to select from among the range of system colors and fonts. Allow the user to configure how the content focus is highlighted (e.g., foreground and background color, voice pitch, etc.). For graphical user interfaces, offer at least three rendering options, including colors and fonts. For graphical user interfaces, allow the user to select from among the range of system colors and fonts. The default focus highlight mechanism must be different from the default selection highlight mechanism. </NEW> - Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/WD-UAAG10-20000901/ P.S. I intend to include these changes in the next draft and will revert them if discussion about this topic requires. -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
