Accessible	Accessible Web content is Web content (e.g. output of an authoring tool) that is sufficiently free of Web content accessibility problems to be usable by end-users regardless of disability.	Accessible Web content is sufficiently free of accessibility problems to be usable by everyone regardless of disability or environment.	change term from "accessible" to "accessible web content" OPEN ISSUE: shawn questions "environment" versus "circumstances" or "situation"
Attribute	An attribute, as used in the document, has the same sense as in SGML and XML [XML]. Some attributes are integral to the accessibility of content (e.g., the "alt", "title", and "longdesc" attributes in HTML).	Information that explains or identifies a tag or element in a markup language. Element types may have more than one attribute like size, shape, wight and color. Some attributes are integral to the accessibility of content (for example, the "alt", "title", and "longdesc" attributes in HTML)	OPEN: concern that should not set size, shape, wight and color in attributes OPEN: consider Chuck's comment OPEN: consider if need both tag and element, or just one
Audio Descriptions	Audio description (also called "Described Video") is an equivalent alternative that provides aural information about actions, body language, graphics, and scene changes in a video. Audio descriptions are commonly used by people who are blind or have low vision, although they may also be used as a low-bandwidth equivalent on the Web. An audio description is either a pre-recorded human voice or a synthesized voice (recorded or automatically generated in real time). The audio description must be synchronized with the auditory track of a video presentation, usually during natural pauses in the auditory track.

Authoring Tool	ATAG 2.0 defines an "authoring tool" as: any software or service that authors may use to create or modify Web content for publication.	Any software that is used to produce content for publishing on the Web. Authoring tools include Web content editors, document conversion tools, and software that generate Web content from databases.
Captions	Captions are equivalent alternatives for movie audio. Captions consist of a text transcript of the auditory track of the movie (or other video presentation) that is synchronized with the video and auditory tracks. Captions are generally rendered graphically and benefit people who can see but are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or cannot hear the audio.	Captions are equivalent alternatives for an audio track of a movie. Captions consist of a text transcript of the auditory track of the movie (or other video presentation) that is synchronized with the video and auditory tracks. Captions are generally rendered graphically. They benefit people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio (for example, someone in a noisy environment).

Conversion	A conversion is a process that takes, as input, Web content in one format and produces, as output, Web content in another format (e.g.,"Save as HTML" functions).	A conversion is a process that takes, as input, Web content in one format and produces, as output, Web content in another format (for example,"Save as HTML" functions).
Device independence	Device-Independent Action A device-independent action is not bound to only one type of input device.	The use of a webpage or event handler without a specific kind of input device. Scripting should be device-independent or provide multiple input and output options for different devices.For example, onDblClick requires a mouse; there is no keyboard equivalent for double clicking. Input devices may include pointing devices (such as the mouse), keyboards, braille devices, head wands, microphones, and others.	OPEN: probably accept Churck's suggestion
Equivalent Alternative	An equivalent alternative is content that is an acceptable substitute for other content that an end-user may not be able to access. An equivalent alternative fulfills essentially the same function or purpose as the original content upon presentation to the end-user. Equivalent alternatives include text alternatives, which present a text version of the information conveyed in non-text content such as graphics and audio clips. The text alternative is considered accessible because it can be rendered in many different ways (e.g. as synthesized speech for individuals who have visual or learning disabilities, as Braille for individuals who are blind, as graphical text for individuals who are deaf or do not have a disability). Equivalent alternatives also include "media alternatives", which present essential audio information visually (captions) and essential video information auditorily (audio descriptions).

Markup language	A markup language is a syntax and/or set of rules used to manage markup (e.g. HTML [HTML4], SVG [SVG], or MathML [MATHML]).	A markup language is a syntax and/or set of rules to manage content and structure of a document or object (for example, HTML , SVG , or MathML).
Repairing, Accessibility	Accessibility repairing is the process by which Web content accessibility problems that have been identified within Web content are resolved. ATAG 2.0 identifies three categories of repair: Automated (i.e. the authoring tool is able to make repairs automatically, with no author input required), Semi-Automated (i.e. the authoring tool can provide some automated assistance to the author in performing corrections, but the author's input is still required before the repair can be complete) and Manual (i.e. the authoring tool provides the author with instructions for making the necessary correction, but does not automate the task in any substantial way).

Techniques	Techniques are informative suggestions and examples for ways in which the success criteria of a checkpoint might be satisfied.	Techniques are informative suggestions and examples for ways in which the success criteria of a checkpoint might be satisfied.
Transcript	Transcripts are equivalent alternatives for the sounds in an audio clip or an auditory track of a multimedia presentation. A "collated text transcript" for a video combines (collates) caption text with text descriptions of video information (descriptions of the actions, body language, graphics, and scene changes of the visual track).

User Agent	A user agent is software that retrieves and renders Web content. This may include Web browsers, media players, plug-ins, and other programs - including assistive technologies - that help in retrieving and rendering Web content.	Software to access Web content, including desktop graphical browsers, text browsers, voice browsers, mobile phones, multimedia players, plug-ins, and some software assistive technologies used in conjunction with browsers such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice recognition software.
