Re: finishing up MS04 - Sequential Navigation Between Elements

Hi Jeanne,

Per ACTION-1034, here is the revised glossary entry for "element" (the stem changed from "element, element type" to just "element", the third sentence replaced, and its original moved to become a third bullet item and revised):

    element


        Primarily, a syntactic construct of a document type definition (DTD) for its application. This is the sense employed by the XML 1.0 specification ([XML], section 3). This sense is also relevant to structures defined by XML schemas. UAAG 2.0 also uses the term "element" more generally any discrete unit within the content (e.g. a specific image, video, sound, heading, list, or list item).

            o    enabled element: An element with associated behaviors that can be activated through the user interface or through an API. The set of elements that a user agent enables is generally derived from, but is not limited to, the set of elements defined by implemented markup languages.

            o    disabled element: A potentially enabled element that is not currently available for activation (e.g. a "grayed out" menu item).

            o    element type: A category of elements (such as images, videos, sounds, first level headings, lists, or list items).


For comparison, here is the existing version:

    element, element type


        Primarily, a syntactic construct of a document type definition (DTD) for its application. This is the sense employed by the XML 1.0 specification ([XML], section 3). This sense is also relevant to structures defined by XML schemas. UAAG 2.0 also uses the term "element" more generally to mean a type of content (such as video or sound) or a logical construct (such as a header or list).


        o    enabled element: An element with associated behaviors that can be activated through the user interface or through an API. The set of elements that a user agent enables is generally derived from, but is not limited to, the set of elements defined by implemented markup languages.

        o    disabled element: A potentially enabled element that is not currently available for activation (e.g. a "grayed out" menu item).

It says in part "UAAG 2.0 also uses the term 'element' more generally to mean a type of content (such as video or sound) or a logical construct (such as a header or list)." That seems to be confusing the two terms "element" and "element type". How about replacing that sentence with something like:

>> 2.2.1 Sequential Navigation Between Elements: The user can move the keyboard focus backwards and forwards through all recognized enabled elements in the current viewport. (Level A)
>> Change to "...all recognized enabled elements in the rendered content of the current viewport."  [rendered content is linked to definition]
