Hi Andi



I tried to capture the suggestions for change from the meeting. Some were
original. Some were in response to issues raised by others.

I put the name of the person who suggested them after the item to
facilitate questions. I hope I got them correctly but they can be
corrected as well as discussed on the list.



( I did NOT note the edits regarding 'is' versus 'must' )





1) Web page provision


Change our only occurrence of "Web page" to "documents that are viewed
through a Web Browser". We can then drop "Web Page" as a definition.
[gvan]

a. OR - just use Web Page without definition and the WCAG definition
will probably be turned to.




2) Instructions provided for understanding


- Change ending of not from "is sufficient" to "can be used to meet this
provision". [gvan]

- Possibly move it to where color provision is? [rex lint]




3) Provision dealing with turning off sounds


- add a provision in platforms to require them to include mechanisms for
turning off content sound (without shutting off system sound) [peter korn]

- this would reduce load on authors if they could
count on this being available in conformant browsers (user agents)
