Hi, WCAG-WG has added this definition: -------------- "Web content technology" mechanism for encoding instructions to be rendered, played or executed by user agents NOTE 1: As used in these guidelines "Web Technology" and the word "technology" (when used alone) both refer to Web Content Technologies. NOTE 2: Web Content technologies may include markup languages, data formats, or programming languages that authors may use alone or in combination to create end-user experiences that range from static Web pages to multimedia presentations to dynamic Web applications. EXAMPLE: Some common examples of Web content technologies include HTML, CSS, SVG, PNG, PDF, Flash, and JavaScript" -------------- The term does not appear in UAAG 1.0, however the non-defined terms "format" and "specifications" are used to refer to much the same thing. I propose that UAAG 2.0 harmonize with WCAG 2.0 (and ATAG 2.0 which may also approve the term) by using the new term. One advantage of the definition from the perspective of this group is that it has an important reference to "user agents". Thoughts? Cheers, Jan
