ACTION-762: Review 2.2.3 for language, do we mean tab, source, or document order? current: 2.2.3 Default Navigation Order (former 1.9.9): If the author has not specified a navigation order, the default *sequential navigation* order is the document order. (Level A) Sequential navigation is defined in the glossary. We will need to review 2.2.3 after the discussion of the glossary change proposed by Jan [1]. There was confusion about the term 'document order'. the original intent of the SC was to be sequential navigation of enabled elements in source code order - the Lynx model of navigation - ignoring all css. In other words in what order does the focus move when the user hits the 'tab' key. Discussion ensued about using the rendered content (rtl or ltr depending on language) to be the default order for sequential navigation of enabled elements. Most browsers (all that I have checked - ie, ff, chr, o) all move through the document in source code order barring any tabindex commands. Rather than making the browser change the default behavior, we should not move to rendered content order. recommend changing the wording to reflect specifically source code order <new> 2.2.3 Default Navigation Order (former 1.9.9): If the author has not specified a navigation order, the default *sequential navigation* order is the document source code order.
