Item Number: content-structure-separation-programmatic
Part of Item: 
Comment Type: technical
Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change):
The technique H71 (fieldset and legend) under SC 1.3.1 is helpful but not necessary for all groups of controls. This is now at level 1 and should be moved to level 2. An example file was posted to the list (http://checker.atrc.utoronto.ca/docs/file2.html) that is very accessible and commonly used but fails the SC. Authors should not be forced to use fieldset and legend for all groups of controls.

Proposed Change:
Move H71 to level 2.
