(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://teitac.org/wiki/Documentation:Draft_Submission">http://teitac.org/wiki/Documentation:Draft_Submission</a>), in section 3

which should be addressed.</span></font><font face="Albany">
It was not included in the official submitted draft #1 since we had not
discussed it. The comment was submitted by Jim Tobias. The text is:<br>
<br>
"</font>Context-sensitive help is another important feature. For
example,
pressing F1 in some computer applications launches a help window that
is already focused on what the user is trying to do."<br>
<font face="Albany"><br>
Many programs already implement this. Do we want to have a standard
that requires it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
