I am worried that if scripts are not specifically mentioned, vendors who
are looking for a way out due to time and budget constraints will argue
that they are not covered. Perhaps I should review the standards you
mention, but I really want an ironclad assurance that scripts are
included in what is already there if we leave them out of the proposals
Andy cited.

Hi Don,
We have a general provision on applications, and another on content,
that I think together cover this scenario. It doesn't matter whether
the (web) content was created by a script or not.
As to this example you propose, as it only singles out one aspect of
what needs to be provided (the functional text) I think it muddies the
water rather than helping things.
