keeping the group up to date, as Jan does not have write permission to the list. Jim Jan, This is very interesting. I think it is something to bring to the group for further discussion. It will help frame the comments we will mace to WCAG. I like the notion of "Support" and "Bonus" I am a bit concerned about "Replaces" - I think the term 'replaces' will not fly with WCAG. dependencies are ok, superceding or overruling is asking for trouble. on the technical side, I have concerns also. There is some UA control for some implementation of features but not others. For example - animated text as a .gif can be stopped with the 'ESC', but animated text as .fla(sh) or .swf is not stopped, nor do I know of any assistive technology that will stop the flash. lets bring it to the group, I don't want to quash anything before the group sees it.

It seems to me that there are three possible relationships between WCAG success criteria (the only normative things in WCAG) and the UAAG requirements: 1. UAAG reqs that replace WCAG reqs (i.e. if this in the baseline UA then WCAG success criteria can be waived) = "Replaces WCAG" 2. UAAG reqs that support WCAG reqs (i.e. these must be in baseline UA for that WCAG success criteria to be used) = "Supports WCAG" 3. UAAG reqs that extend WCAG reqs (i.e. no real effect on WCAG success criteria) = "Bonus for WCAG" (I have started marking them in the doc - but am not even close to being done) SO WHAT? Maybe we can recommend that the WCAG baseline include a UAAG conformance profile. - If the profile missed any UAAG reqs that act as supports (2-Support WCAG) then those WCAG success criteria couldn't be used in a WCAG conformance claim. - If on the other hand the profile contained UAAG reqs that act as replacements (1-Replaces WCAG), then the WCAG conformance claim could lock in those WCAG success criteria in as if done. Thoughts? Cheers, Jan Jim Allan wrote: > As per my task.
