Jan, you lost me with "WCAG-SC-first" v. "ATAG-SC-first" process.  I'm only=
 taking an approach to test whether ATAG can be proven implementable.  If a=
n ATAG SC calls for test against WCAG 2.0 SC, then we test the authoring to=
ol against WCAG SC.

On testing B.2.4.1, I think it only calls for implementing a collection of =
templates that meet WCAG SC at various levels, not templates to cover every=
 SC of WCAG.

BTW: One issue I can see with a "WCAG-SC-first" process would be what to do=
 about any WCAG SC that are typically not applicable in the context of thos=
e ATAG SCs.

For example, take WCAG 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded)-Level A in the context =
of templates (ATAG B.2.4.1). I don't think I've ever seen a template that c=
ame with videos with a spoken soundtrack (I have seen templates FOR videos =
e.g. [1]). I think that's because video(with speech) is a type of content t=
hat authors would add, not the type that would come pre-populated.

But does that mean that including captioned video in a template is fundamen=
tally not implementable? I don't think so.

Hi Alex,

OK, I think I see what you're saying... that we could look at this from a "=
WCAG-SC-first" perspective instead of an "ATAG-SC-first" perspective for th=
ose 13 SCs that refer to WCAG.

And I agree that some SCs would potentially be harder for tools to manage t=
han others, especially by powerful tools that support/encourage authors to =
produce complex interfaces.

But while theoretically, an SC like WCAG 1.3.1 could get really hairy, in t=
he context of a relatively simple, but mainstream tool (e.g. TinyMCE, CKedi=
t), relatively few WCAG2 1.3.1 techniques actually kick-in. As a result, I =
think we can say ATAG is implementable even if it would be much more work f=
or a much more complex tool (but I think it's fair to say that lots of thin=
gs are much more complex for a much more complex tool - e.g. QA, security, =
performance, etc.).

Cheers,
Jan

Alastair,

Several WCAG 2.0 SC are going to present more challenge for web authoring a=
pps in fulfilling A.1.1.1.  That includes 1.3.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.3, 2.2.2 when i=
t comes to auto update, 2.2.5, 2.4.5, 3.2.5, and 4.1.2.

Also B.3.1.1 is another challenge, even with manual checking.  There are so=
 many ways to create content that breaks WCAG 2.0 SC that it is no small ta=
sk to meet B.3.1.1 even at level A.

Jan, we are not looking for a perfect authoring tool.  We are looking examp=
les where at least two authoring tools can meet a given SC.  In your case o=
f page title below, all you need is to find two authoring tools with templa=
tes that come with page titles, not two authoring tools that meet every WCA=
G 2.0 SC.

All best,
Alex

Hi Alastair, Alex,

I'd also like to add that common sense comes into this, since an implementa=
tion report needs to be built and approved by the Director.

Taking the templates requirement (B.2.4.1) for example:
- the group would obviously not choose an implementation that had templates=
 with just two Level A passes (e.g. titles (WCAG2.4.2-A) and Bypass Blocks =
(WCAG2.4.1-A)) but that failed every other SC (i.e. lacking text equivalent=
s on images, lacking keyboard navigation, poor contrast, etc. etc. etc.).
- at the same time, the group needs some flexibility when real-world implem=
entations are imperfect for whatever reason. For example, if a tool include=
d templates that almost reached WCAG2 Level A, but lacked page titles (WCAG=
2.4.2-A).

Cheers,
Jan

Hi Alex

You wrote:
"WCAG 2.0 has already been tested for implementability.  But that was only =
for web pages not authoring tools."

I'm trying to think where that would apply differently. The WCAG SC in ATAG=
 apply to web based interfaces and web output.

Just thinking through a few examples:
- A.1.1.1 is basically a WCAG check of the authoring interface, that should=
 apply to any web page/app and isn't unique to authoring tools.
- B.1.1.1 Content auto-generation after authoring session: it is easy not t=
o generate different (inaccessible) content after the authoring session.
- B.1.2.1 Restructuring and Recoding Transformations: Is a WCAG check of co=
ntent output.
- B.2.3.1 Alternative Content is Editable: Is non-text content only, so isn=
't that many SC from WCAG. But even so it is a straightforward WCAG check t=
hat isn't particular to authoring tools.
- B.2.4.1 Accessible Template Options: Nothing unique to authoring tools he=
re...

For a web-based authoring tool (like Defacto/Drupal) the distinction isn't =
very meaningful, the interface and the output are synonymous.

Can you think of any examples where the authoring tools aspect makes it uni=
que or harder for authoring tools?

Kind regards,

Alastair

<br>
I'd also like to add that common sense comes into this, since an implementa=
tion report needs to be built and approved by the Director.
<br>
<br>
Taking the templates requirement (B.2.4.1) for example:<br>
- the group would obviously not choose an implementation that had templates=
 with just two Level A passes (e.g. titles (WCAG2.4.2-A) and Bypass Blocks =
(WCAG2.4.1-A)) but that failed every other SC (i.e. lacking text equivalent=
s on images, lacking keyboard navigation,
 poor contrast, etc. etc. etc.).<br>
- at the same time, the group needs some flexibility when real-world implem=
entations are imperfect for whatever reason. For example, if a tool include=
d templates that almost reached WCAG2 Level A, but lacked page titles (WCAG=
2.4.2-A).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
