RE: Minutes: 20 June 2011 User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working Group

My action: ACTION: JR to Try again with 1.1.2 Indicate Unrendered Alternative Content - presentation, along with 

1.1.2 Indicate Unrendered Alternative Content: The user can specify that content be rendered with an adjacent indicator when unrendered alternative content is present. (Level A)


Cheers,
Jan
