Comments:

These are three options I am aware of for markup related to navigation bars or in general grouping of links. Please respond with your own ideas or comments. FOllowing the options is a list of some of the archived e-mail discussion on the issue.

Option 1:
Using the DIV element and some type of CLASS or NAME identifier:
PROs: Easy to implement and author
CONs: There is no mechanism to reserve class names in HTML, there could be conflicts if specific class names are usedOption

2:MAP element
PROs: Currently used for image based navigational barsCONs:
1. More complex than DIV to author
2. What if authors did not want to use images in their navigation bars

Option 3: Schema
Schemas are a potential way to indicate the purpose of content or structure
PROs: Proclaimed as the right method for the job
CONs:
1. New technology and still under development
2. Not currently supported by UAs,
3. Not clear how easy to author
4. Not clear how easy for AT to decode and use information

Option 4: MENU element
CON: Depricated HTML element

Comments:
The definition of a block level element or what navigating a block at a time needs careful definition. There are many blocks like list and tables that would be useful to give summary information when the block is first encountered. Like saying a "list of 12 items" when the block is first encountered, and then the next block navigation command would read the first item in the list and so on....

Comments:
Checkpoint 5.11 in 9 August draft talks about turning on/off support for spawned windows. I propose that we rephrase this as "Ensure that users know when new windows are spawned or allow them to turn them off." The goal is to prevent disorienting behavior. This may be achieved by a number of mechanisms, such as a history mechanism, a warning mechanism, or turning off spawned windows. Refer to proposal to delete this checkpoint and ff. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/1999JulSep/0212.html

Detailed Issues list: 7.2 For dependent user agents. Ensure that the user has access to the content of an element selected by the user. The word "selected" gave me lots of problems. Since "selected" has a very different and very common meaning, I wish a different word or phrase could be found. I tried using "the current," rather than "selected by the user" and in HPR I think that works. 9.16 Identify a link selected by the user. 9.19 Identify a table selected by the user. 9.23 Make available the coordinates in the current table of a selected table cell 9.22 Identify the table containing a table cell selected by the user. 9.2 For dependent user agents. Provide the user with information about the number of viewports. Probably one example would clarify this for me. 9.10 Make available the number of links (to distinct targets) in a document. 9.11 Make available the number of visited links (to distinct targets) in a document. Why is this accessibility? Who cares about the number of visited links. And the requirement of distinct targets vs links seems out of line as a guideline. 9.17 Make available whether a chosen link (target) is local to the document. This does not seem to be an accessibility requirement. Does it have something to do with "downlevel" browsing configurations.

Comments:
Proposed change: "If a user agent offers a functionality, it must ensure that [CHANGE] people with disabilities [/CHANGE] have access to that functionality or an equivalent alternative." (my revised definition of "Applicable checkpoint"). This change from "all users" to "people with disabilities" is, in my view, essential because: 1. It keeps the UAAG document within scope. We have no authority except as it relates to accessibility, i.e., use by people with disabilities. 2. It may limit the unintended negative consequences by potential reducing (or minimizes increased burden) on developers. ALso: Since people can't find this definition, put back in conformance section.

Comments:
I'd suggest that if the user interface here is designed with accessibility in mind, the user should not have to know about the object technologies. "Please turn off blinking things" would be a convenient request to the user agent. If the user agent allows the user to turn off the objects through other means (e.g., by turning off scripts), then this would also be sufficient, but the user agent should document that this is how the user can achieve this particular goal.

Parts of the checkpoint are too generalized. I think it would be hard to determine when it was satisfied. Therefore, I suggest breaking it out into X number of separate, stronger checkpoints.

Comments:
First, regarding Guideline 4.18, user control over UA-spawned viewports: seems to me that this needs to be a Priority 1 guideline. Currently, UA-spawned viewports "break" the history mechanism completely, and they provide the user with no cue(s) for understanding why basic UA functionality has suddenly stopped working. Further, I can't see how it'd be possible to implement Guideline 7.2 (a Priority 1) without *also* implementing 4.18; a promotion is clearly in order.
