Issue 741

<Zakim> judy, you wanted to note that logic puzzles are accessible to people who are deafblind

<gregg> Proposed: Add a new situation to How to Meet 1.1.3.

<gregg> Situation C: If providing text alternatives that serve the same purpose as the functional non-text content would invalidate the purpose of the functional non-text content, the following would be sufficient:

<gregg> * Providing a text alternative that identifies the purpose of thefunctional non-text content

<gregg> AND

<gregg> * providing an alternative to the function of the non-text content

<gregg> Include references cited in this issue under related resources for How to meet 1.1.3.

<gregg> Summary

<judy> Systems team working on site fix at the moment, no reply yet on when will be ready

<Zakim> Yvette, you wanted to say "Alternative version: call someone to read our website to you"

discussion leaning toward putting captcha under 4.2.1, but need to explore further (could bounce back to 1.1)

<scribe> ACTION: Cynthia, Kerstin, Judy explore captcha further (due Feb. 2)[recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/01/26-wai-wcag-irc]

Issue 1558

resolution: accept wording for Principle 4 "Content should be robust enough to work with current and future user agents (including assistive technologies)"

Issue 1576

resolution: close issue 1576 with comment "This is an internationalization issue, not faced only by people with disabilities, therefore not an accessibility issue."

Issue 206 (from batch 1 survey)

resolution: optional technique to mark every occurrence moved, is now sufficient (definately)
... close issue 206. The SC itself does not use the language about first occurrence, and we have techniques showing that first occurrence and all occurrences are both sufficient. First occurrence in a URI is the existing definition of first occurrence.
