Ian and I have been discussing the lack of requirements in Checkpoint 6.4. This kind of sticks out in a document that has specific requirements for almost all of the other checkpoints. The checkpoint point would have a total of 3 required provisions (2 more than now) and 2 optional provisions. The changes were based on information gathered from AT developers and the working group. Please RESPOND as soon as possible to this e-mail on whether you agree or disagree with the changes. I would like to proposed the following change to checkpoint 6.4: Checkpoint 6.4 Programmatic access to information about rendered content.. (P1) Provision 1: Make available bounding dimensions and location of rendered graphical objects Provision 2: Provide access to the following information about each piece of rendered text: a. font-family b. font-weight (e.g. bold) c. font-style (e.g. italic) d. font-size e. text decorations (e.g. underline, strike through) g. foreground color h. background color Provision 3: As part of satisfying the provisions of this checkpoint, implement at least one API according to the API cascade described in provision two of checkpoint 6.3. Note(1): The API used to provide access to visually rendered information should provide access to both structured information and pixel-level information. User agents should also provide information about the correspondence (in both directions) between locations in content and related locations in the rendering structure." Note(2): The user agent should also provide access to information about each graphical object, such as its role, a text description and other useful information in describing the state and content of the object.
