Graham, I think if you mean "text" then we ought to say "text" or "text content" instead of "passive content." As you said in your follow-up post, we already use "active elements" and "text." Both of these are "content" in the UAAG 1.0 definition [1]: In this specification, the noun "content" is used in three ways: It is used to mean the document object as a whole or in parts. It is used to mean the content of an HTML or XML element, in the sense employed by the XML 1.0 specification ([XML], section 3.1): "The text between the start-tag and end-tag is called the element's content." Context should indicate that the term content is being used in this sense. It is used in the context of the phrases non-text content and text content. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/glossary.html#def-content The UAAG definition of "Text content, non-text content, text element, non-text element, text equivalent non-text equivalent" is at: http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/glossary.html#def-non-text-content a definition of rendered content is available at: http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/glossary.html#def-rendered-content In general, I think we can use these definitions. I mistakenly said these were from the ATAG document in my previous email. These are from UAAG. --wendy At 04:28 PM 1/27/02, goliver@accease.com wrote: >Katie >Here is a post >http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001JulSep/0900.html >where I suggested a distinction which I felt would be >useful in terms of defining content. > >Of all the definitions of content provided in your >original post, the following is the one that I >understand the most. > >Telecom Glossary >http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/projects/t1glossary2000/_content.html >content: In Web terminology, the text, media, and links >or information displayed by a browser at a particular >Web site.
