<blockquote>(ISO)
NOTE 1 User interface element information includes, but is not limited to:
general states (such as existence, selection, focus, and position),
attributes (such as size, colour, role and name), values (such as the text
in a static or editable text field), states specific to particular classes
of user interface elements (such as On/Off, depressed/released),and
relationships between user interface elements (such as when one user
interface element contains, names, describes, or affects another). This
applies to on screen user interface elements and UI status values such as
toggle keys.</blockquote>
<my comments> I really like the text describing relationships between
elements. This is an area that is currently not covered very well by
section 508. It reminds me of the accessibleRelationSet methods of JAVA
which are very helpful in explicitly relating items.
