Source for ANSI "Standard Definitions" is: American National Standard Dictionary of Information Technology (ANSDIT) http://www.ncits.org/tc_home/k5htm/ANSDIT.htm Definitions therein cover a much wider set of information processing terms (like "chad"). Those definitions are still evolving. They do not cover accessibility terms very well. I guess the overlap is about 10% each way. We may be able to expand their coverage to include terms used in the WAI guidelines. With a more expansive effort, all W3 TR glossary terms might be submitted as candidates for inclusion in the ANSDIT set. One problem with encouraging ANSDIT to include WAI/W3 glossary terms is the lethargy in evolving their definitions. I suspect that the ANSI/ISO process rules apply: revise at least every five years! I enclose my review of the WAI GL terms, with injections of terms from the ANSDIT set: dfnaug.txt This is a text file, not an HTML file, as I distinguish source by indentation for (just) the WAI GL terms and flush-left for the terms from ANSDIT. I did not repeat the GL definitions. For those, consult the latest version: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/Glossary/printable.html Regards/Harvey Bingham
