Last week we didn't get to our discussion of the proposal for the Web part
that would eliminate the need for the current 22 (m) which points back to
the software part. [1] This is on the agenda for this week. There weren't
many comments so please be sure you have reviewed it If we can agree on
it, this will be our recommendation to the TEITAC for the Web part.

In particular, we need to decide what to do about the two provisions that
are in 1194.21 that are not included in the proposal:

1. Not interfering or disabling accessibility features of other products or
the operating system.
2. Not overriding the user's display settings

These two requirements are not in WCAG 2.0. Proposals anyone?
