Click here: Please clarify whether or not this SC allows for link text such as "Click here" and "more". If so this SC should be rewritten to outlaw this ext

Proposed Change:

Clarify or rewrite SC; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMB] Discussed in the 31 August 2006 telecon: resolution: sent back to Team B to consider survey comments. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/08/31-wai-wcag-minutes.html Discussed in the 07 September 2006 telecon: sent back to Team to consider comments http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/09/07-wai-wcag-minutes.html Discussed in the 14 September 2006 telecon: Resolution: refer link text issues back to team B with the understanding that Ben's format will be used for the definition and the 2.4.8 supplemental language gets worked out and Loretta and David work out the link focus issue for 2.4.4. Accept the rest of the resolution as proposed pending resolution of the previously stated items. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/09/14-wai-wcag-minutes.html Discussed in the 28 September 2006 telecon: Resolution:Send "SC 2.4.4 and How to Meet Success Criterion 2.4.4" back to Team B for further work. Action item taken by David to clean up failures and add more examples. Action item by Team B: take survey comments and update Wiki pages to update survey comments, take sufficient techniques and make them general as opposed to specific HTML techniques. http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/09/28-wai-wcag-minutes.html Techniques for paragraph, list itm and table cell remain as HTML techniques, since we need to mention HTML concepts like block element. Discussed in the 05 October 2006 telecon: Resolution: accept proposal as amended http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/10/05-wai-wcag-minutes.html Response:http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007Jul/0073.html New issue: http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=2324; Resolution: SC 2.4.4 allows for link text such as "Click here" and "more" as long as the purpose of the link can still be determined from programmatically determined context such as the enclosing sentence, paragraph, or list item. We have added such an example to How To Meet SC 2.4.4, to clarify that they are permitted. However, the Intent section of How To Meet SC 2.4.4 has been changed to encourage authors to make the link text as meaningful as possible.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
