Reference: WAI Action items status http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/WAI/group/actions.html Q1: May we say we are done with the ACSS action item? Q2: Has Chris or anyone from the Styles area looked over my comments on the ACSS draft itself, and do they feel we have answered their request for an accessibility review of the draft? Discussion: I think I want to claim success on the part about giving feedback to the Styles team, and failure on the part about doing examples, and say it's done. I can see benefit to WAI if someone were to do a demonstration project of bimodal documents using ACSS and print- or screen- alternative styles. Another valuable experiment would be a third-party restyling demonstration that would take a page with print- or screen- effects and, without author cooperation, analyze them and allocate ACSS effects to the document using the visual styling as a base of departure. Note that the original document doesn't need to use CSS to make the latter function doable. One could key the audio effects to _de facto_ classes based on contexts and visual effects as much as to classes named CLASS=foo. I don't volunteer to do either of these. I would be interested to try to help with the second demo described above, but I don't think I should lead it. If someone can find volunteers from the industries that originate Web content who are willing to work on either of these demonstrations, the WAI would benefit from the concrete experience. -- Al Gilman
