Drill-down access to all security information is not \'nice,\' it\'s required (by
UAAG 1.0).
where it says, in (non-goals) 3.1 Presentation of all security information

Access to security information beyond what is available through the
recommended presentation may be desireable in many scenarios, such
as debugging. User agents are encouraged to provide this access, but
in a way that does not interfere with the recommended presentation.
you must change
This statement is too weak. Mention and link the fact that access to all this
information is required by UAAG 1.0, Guideline 2.
Why?
The User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 is already a Recommendation. The
current work is not chartered to undercut its requirements. Don\'t re-invent
this requirement wrong; just pass through the relevent authoritatve
requirement.

Related notes:

The text in Non-goals 3.1 Presentation of all security information should be
fixed.

As noted by Al, the statement in the note (non-goals 3.1 Presentation of all
security information and included below) should be changed to be in line with
W3C user agent accessibility guidelines.

\"Access to security information beyond what is available through the
Recommended presentation may be desirable in many scenarios, such
as debugging. User agents are encouraged to provide this access, but
in a way that does not interfere with the recommended presentation.�

The following W3C WG appears to own this issue.

Techniques for User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0
http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10-TECHS/guidelines.html#Guidelines

Guideline 2. Ensure user access to all content

If Security information is content, all security information must be
accessible to user. This requirement is defined by the WG Techniques for User
Agent Accessibility Guidelines - or something like that.
