Re: UAAG2: 10.2 Rewording ideas

hmm, have elements been considered in the visitted grop?  it might be useful 
to know if a submit button has been pressed once in a session.  I can't 
think of others off hand but I am sure there must be.

==========================================================
CURRENT WORDING:

10.2 Highlight selection, content focus, enabled elements, visited links
(P1)

1. Allow global configuration to highlight the following four classes of
information in each viewport: the selection, content focus, enabled
elements, and recently visited links.

2. For graphical user interfaces, as part of satisfying provision one of
this checkpoint, allow at least one configuration where the highlight
mechanisms for the four classes of information:
- differ from each other, and
- do not rely on rendered text foreground and background colors alone.

3. For graphical user interfaces, as part of satisfying provision one of
this checkpoint, if a highlight mechanism involves text size, font
family, rendered text foreground and background colors, or text
decorations, offer at least the following range of values:
- for text size, the range required by provision three of checkpoint 4.1.
- for font family, the range required by provision three of checkpoint 4.2.
- for text foreground and background colors and decorations, the range
offered by the conventional utility available in the operating
environment for users to choose rendered text colors or decorations
(e.g., the standard font and color dialog box resources supported by the
operating system). If no such utility is available, the range supported
by the conventional APIs of the operating environment for specifying
text colors or drawing text.

4. Highlight enabled elements according to the granularity specified in
the format. For example, an HTML user agent rendering a PNG image as
part of a client-side image map is only required to highlight the image
as a whole, not each enabled region. An SVG user agent rendering an SVG
image with embedded graphical links is required to highlight each
(enabled) link that may be rendered independently according to the SVG
specification.
