The link provided will take you to the full INTENT for the named SC: 14:05:22 SC 2.4.2 14:05:23 Add the following as a second paragraph: 14:05:25 In cases where the page is a document or a web application, the name of the document or web application would be sufficient to describe the purpose of the page. Note that it is not required to use the name of the document or web application; other things may also describe the purpose or the topic of the page. 14:05:26 Success Criteria 2.4.4 and 2.4.9 deal with the purpose of links, many of which are links to web pages. Here also, the name of a document or web application being linked to would be sufficient to describe the purpose of the link. Having the link and the title agree, or be very similar, is good practice and provides continuity between the link 'clicked on' and the web page that the user lands on. 14:05:28 SC 2.4.4 14:05:29 Add the following paragraph as the second paragraph: 14:05:31 The text of, or associated with, the link is intended to describe the purpose of the link. In cases where the link takes one to a document or a web application, the name of the document or web application would be sufficient to describe the purpose of the link (which is to take you to the document or web application). Note that it is not required to use the name of the document or web application; other things may also describe the 14:05:32 purpose of the link. 14:05:34 Success Criterion 2.4.2 deals with the titles of pages. Here also, the name of a document or web application being presented on the page would be sufficient to describe the purpose of the page. Having the link and the title agree, or be very similar, is good practice and provides continuity between the link 'clicked on' and the web page that the user lands on. 14:05:35 SC 2.4.9 14:05:37 Add the following paragraph as the second paragraph: 14:05:38 The text in the link is intended to describe the purpose of the link. In cases where the link takes one to a document or a web application, the name of the document or web application would be sufficient to describe the purpose of the link (which is to take you to the document or web application). Note that it is not required to use the name of the document or web application; other things may also describe the purpose of the link. 14:05:38 Success Criterion 2.4.2 deals with the titles of pages. Here also, the name of a document or web application being presented on the page would be sufficient to describe the purpose of the page.

It was confirmed that a name would in fact meet the requirements for title. This should in fact apply both to title and to links. They requested a proposal that would address both at the 14:09:13 same time. A draft of that subsequent to the WCAG meeting and can be found at http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Purpose_and_doc/app_names. 14:10:25 q? 14:10:26 q- 14:10:31 zakim, next item 14:10:31 agendum 1.
