<h2 class="notoc"><a name="abstract">Abstract</a></h2>

<P>This document is an appendix to the W3C <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505">"Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0"</a>.  It provides a list of all
checkpoints from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, organized by concept, as a checklist
for Web content developers. Please refer to the Guidelines document
for introductory information, information about related documents, a
glossary of terms, and more.

<P>This list may be used to review a page or site for accessibility.
For each checkpoint, indicate whether the checkpoint has been
satisfied, has not been satisfied, or is not applicable.

<P>A <a href="checkpoint-list.html">list version
of the checkpoints</a> is also available.

<p>This document has been produced as part of the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/WAI">Web Accessibility Initiative</a>.
The goal of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL">WAI Web Content
Guidelines Working Group</a> is discussed in the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/charter.html"> Working Group
charter</a>.</p>

<h2 class="notoc"><a name="status">Status of this document</a></h2>

<p>This document is an appendix to a document that has been reviewed
by W3C Members and other interested parties and has 
been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. This is a stable
document and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative
reference from another document. W3C's role in making the
Recommendation is to draw attention to the specification and to
promote its widespread deployment. This enhances the functionality and
universality of the Web.

<P>A list of current W3C Recommendations and other technical documents
can be found at <a

<h2>Priorities</h2>

<p>Each checkpoint has a priority level assigned by the Working
Group based on the checkpoint's impact on accessibility. 

<dl>
<dt><a name="wc-priority-1">[Priority&nbsp;1] </a></dt>

<dd>A Web content developer <strong>must</strong> satisfy this
checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it impossible to
access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint is a
basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web documents.


<dt><a name="wc-priority-2">[Priority&nbsp;2]</a></dt>

<dd>A Web content developer <strong>should</strong> satisfy this
checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it difficult to
access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will
remove significant barriers to accessing Web documents.</dd>

<dt><a name="wc-priority-3">[Priority&nbsp;3]</a></dt>

<dd>A Web content developer <strong>may</strong> 
address this checkpoint. Otherwise,
one or more groups will find it somewhat difficult to access
information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will improve
access to Web documents.</dd>

</dl>

<P>Some checkpoints specify a priority level that may change under
certain (indicated) conditions.
