Hi everyone, As per my action item from last week, here are some thoughts on the 17 May 2007 WCAG 2.0 Draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/) from my general review: 1. The term "Robust" seems not quite right, though I can't think of a single word that is. 2. For the "three levels of conformance" the rationales seem insufficient. The key concept seems to be "impact on presentation" where presentation is most likely visual presentation. In some cases however, the difference actually seems to be more about technical complexity or changes to the site a as it might otherwise have been designed. For example: - Captions (Prerecorded) are level A, while Captions (Live) are level AA, but the impact on presentation is the same. - Abbreviations (not impact on presentation, but definitely more work) - Reading Level (does not really impact the "presentation" as this word is usually used) 3. "Accessibility Supported" concept seems ok in terms of UAAG. 4. Maybe should add to 2.1 something about finding out about keyboard settings for a Web Page. 5. 2.2.2 Blinking should go somewhere else (2.3 or 1.4) 6. Maybe "2.4.4 Link Purpose (Context)" should just apply if back button won't work. 7. Error Prevention - 3.3.3 - maybe Checking and confirming should both be mandatory 8. Def: Mechanism: "The mechanism may be explicitly provided in the content, or may be relied on to be provided by either the platform or by user agents, including assistive technologies." - how many user agents, ATs, etc need to provide it before this is ok? 1.4.2 (Audio Turnoff) allows a "mechanism" but 1.4.4 (Resize text) doesn't. Is this consistent enough? 9. Def: Technology: - This is no longer linked to in the main document. - Why is "API" in the definition? I think it interferes.
