6.3-E - Interactive Elements
All materials containing interactive elements that are part of the
content must comply with 1194.21 [a-z] as well as 1194.24 a-e.

While I think this language points where we want to go, it doesn't
plainly say that for menus, audio equivalents must be provided as focus
moves. Note, this is really critical for when the content is coming
from a closed media, or being used on a closed playback device. there
must be a simpler way to say this so that this meaning is clear. I
think there may be distinction between read-only media content and more
read/write interactive content here, for example, a flash e-learning
course delivered with multimedia over the web must meet the content,
web, and software standards, which in theory include a/v requirements.
In the spirit of creating general function-based technical requirements,
then moving to any specific requirements for narrowly scoped subsets, I
would like to prose that the 6.3E item is either kept as is, and
additional more media specific provisions drafted, or we incorporate
some specific media-specific language into it.

Here are some problems I see with just saying interactive elements must
meet software requirements:
They have to meet closed requirements primarily, as closed media
is closed due to playback device primarily.
software contains requirements specifically related to
accessibility services on platforms, these don't match reality of
playback systems today.

So:
rewrite of 6.3E might be:
6.3-E - Interactive Elements
All "multimedia" containing interactive elements, such as menus for
selection and access to segments of the content, that are part of the
content MUST include verbal equivalents for menu selections, and must
comply with 1194.21 [a-z] as well as 1194.24 a-e.

Note, this would make my concern plainly addressed if we then work with
web/software/content to nail down the final standards in that section
that have to be complied with more carefully.
