Comments on Section 3.4 Content type labels Comment 1: Audio label missing checkpoint 3.2, remove 4.15 and 4.16 (add to speech label), and order checkpoints numerically. Comment 2: Image label missing 3.4 (if label is to be consistent with including 3.3 in Text grouping for animations) Comment 3: Speech label missing 4.15, 4.16, 8.2 and 8.3 Comment 4: I think there are two issues in the use of the content type section: helping developers to understand which checkpoints apply to them and secondly to help consumers more easily understand if developer claims will make a user agent more accessible to them. The groupings Text, Color, Image, Animation, Video, Audio and Speech address the needs of developers to easily identify which checkpoints are applicable to associated media types. The groupings Multimedia and All, seem more useful to consumers wanting to know more about the general accessibility of a user agent. I therefore propose an additional grouping primarily for consumers, GUI for graphical user interface. GUI would include the following groupings and checkpoint: Text, Color, Image, Animation and checkpoint 3.2. This grouping would be applicable to current user agent technology like Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and Opera.
