Responder Understanding ACT Rules for WCAG Success CriteriaComments
Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes
Wilco Fiers I don't know. My questions or suggestions for changes are documented below. In "Check for failure", change "meeting WCAG success criteria" to "satisfy WCAG success criteria". I also think it is worth noting that because of conformance requirement 1, a page can still conform to WCAG if a success criterion is not satisfied.

In the identifier, it says "use a hash identifier", this isn't a hash, it's an alphanumeric string



Kathy Eng No. I have opened an issue in GitHub or have documented my comments below. 1. First section, both "understanding" links are broken in Understanding Conformance provides related information, including on understanding accessibility support.
2. Under ACT Rule Implementations: remove the extra "or" from first bullet - Passed, the test result generated from the implementation is passed, cantTell, or or inapplicable
3. Explain why cantTell is an acceptable implementation result for all test cases?
Trevor Bostic Yes "Understanding Conformance", "understanding accessibility support" links are broken.

Under structure of ACT Rules, Accessibility Requirements Mapping - I am little confused what "in this context WCAG..." is referring to. Is it to the example descriptive title? We should be careful to make sure we don't convey only WCAG.

May be helpful to to include examples of applicability, expectations, assumptions, and accessibility support since we give examples for other fields above. Slightly worried about being overly verbose.

Overall really well written!
Mary Jo Mueller I don't know. My questions or suggestions for changes are documented below. Should ACT rules also point to this understanding doc? I agree with Kathy on point 3. cantTell needs to be defined and explained why it can be a valid result for all three expected results.

2. ACT Rule incorporation into a WCAG technique

Review the draft of how we can incorporate ACT rules into a WCAG technique where a new section titled 'Related ACT Rules' is added to H25: Providing a title using the title element. Note: This is a diff file showing the changes.

Is the proposed method of incorporating ACT Rules into WCAG techniques ready to take to AGWG for their review?

Responder ACT Rule incorporation into a WCAG techniqueComments
Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes
Wilco Fiers Yes
Kathy Eng I don't know. My questions or suggestions for changes are documented below. Add - For information on using ACT Rules, see Understanding ACT Rules for WCAG Success Criteria .
Trevor Bostic Yes How are Related ACT Rules and the Tests section below reconciled? They seem related though the Tests is at a higher level and I think always manual.
Mary Jo Mueller I don't know. My questions or suggestions for changes are documented below. Agree with Kathy that a pointer to Understanding may be helpful. At some later point we may want to see if there's any close alignment between test steps and ACT rules or if changes can be made to the test steps to show where rules can be used to complete that step.

3. Incorporation of ACT Rules into WCAG Understanding Success Criterion documents

Review the draft of how we can incorporate ACT rules into a WCAG Understanding document where a new section titled 'ACT Rules' is added to Understanding Success Criterion 2.4.2 Page Titled Note: This is a diff file showing the changes.

Is the proposed method of incorporating ACT Rules into WCAG Understanding documents ready to take to AGWG for their review?

Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes
Wilco Fiers I don't know. My questions are documented below. Not sure about this phrase "However, it is not necessary to use these particular ACT Rules", perhaps: "It is not mandatory to use these particular ACT Rules"?
Kathy Eng I don't know. My questions are documented below. I don't think it's necessary to say "However, it is not necessary to use these particular ACT Rules." since the Understanding articles are informative
Trevor Bostic Yes
Mary Jo Mueller Yes
