aloha! i find the hyperlink text used in Appendix B to be useless, especially as that hyperlink text contains either a number or a number-sign -- what is the hyperlink text in the index intended to convey? the hyperlink text should be as unambiguous as possible, and avoid the repeated use of identical link text to point to different resources, as per WCAG 2.0: WCAG 2.0 Guideline 2.4 - Navigable: Provide ways to help users navigate, find content, and determine where they are: * http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/navigation-mechanisms.html 2.4.9 Link Purpose (Link Only): A mechanism is available to allow the purpose of each link to be identified from link text alone, except where the purpose of the link would be ambiguous to users in general. (Level AAA) * http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/#qr-navigation-mechanisms-link * http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/navigation-mechanisms-link.html * http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20101014/G91 one means of improving the index is WCAG 2.0 Technique C7 * http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20101014/C7 which provides a means of providing disambiguating hyperlink text for aural and/or tactile contextualization thanks, gregory. -------------------------------------------------------------- You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. -- Mark Twain -------------------------------------------------------------- Gregory J.
