This would not only help people with visual impairments but would also
assist those with cognitive impairments.

I concur with Don, but have a question.
Why would either of these be restricted to "web" content?

I fully concur with adopting this WCAG 2 language for this standard:
"* 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence: When the sequence in which content is
presented affects its meaning, a correct reading sequence can be
programmatically determined and sequential navigation of interactive
components is consistent with that sequence."

As I stated over the weekend, I strongly believe the following standard
should be reintroduced and included in the 508 standards:
"* 3.3.1 Error Identification: If an input error is automatically
detected, the item that is in error is identified and described to the
user in text."

Thanks to Drew LaHart for comparing the latest WCAG 2.0 draft with our
current recommendations to identify additional WCAG 2.0 provisions we
should consider. [1]

This was a great exercise because it identified one provision that we
had closed on that I had neglected to include in our submission to the
TEITAC.

The net is that we have 4 Level A provisions and 6 Level AA provisions
to consider for our 508 recommendation. There are an additional 7
provisions that we have already considered and rejected.

Please review these and register your comments on the list. We will
discuss adding these to our recommendation at next week's meeting.
