Disregard action-198. When 201 is complete, 198 will be moot. ACTION-201 [1] Rewrite 4.5.6 group, individual and total reset This is an expansion of ACTION-198 [2] Create 4.5.6 restore to default settings accessibility. No current wording. <new> 4.5.6 Restore all to default. The user can restore all preference settings to their default values. (Level A) NOTE: The user must not be required to know or enter the default value. 4.5.7 Restore related preferences to default. The user can restore groups of related preference settings to their default values (e.g. reset keyboard shortcuts, reset colors and sizes of rendered content, etc.). (Level AA) NOTE: Allowing the user to reset groups of related preference settings is more valuable than merely providing the ability to reset all preference settings together, because some users will be unable to use the product without a few specific custom settings. [This may be better in the understanding document] 4.5.8 Restore defaults outside the UI: The user can adjust preference settings from outside the user agent user interface. (Level AA) NOTE: This allows the user to configure a product that would be inaccessible in its default state. EXAMPLE 1: A user agent ships with a separate utility for resetting or loading user preference settings. EXAMPLE 2: Holding down a modifier keys or specifying a command-line switch when starting the user agent could force it to use the default settings, or previously used and known-good settings, or a specified user profile. [note and examples may be better in the understanding document] Notes, examples, and new success criteria from Greg (Thanks!) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2009AprJun/0101.html 1. http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/actions/201 2. http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/tracker/actions/196 Jim Allan, Accessibility Coordinator & Webmaster Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired 1100 W. 45th St., Austin, Texas 78756 voice 512.206.9315 fax: 512.206.9264 http://www.tsbvi.edu/ "We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us."
