Web Content Accesibility Guidelines
W3C Standard 6, Guideline 8 - Ensure direct accessibility of embedded user interfaces.
This guideline was very simple and straight forward. It talked about when a developer creates an object or an applet that requires user controls, one should make that applet or object directly accessible. If video or sound is playing in the applet, controls should be provided to freeze the playback that is accessible by alternative methods to standard mouse clicking. With as many people who do use mice, developers should be remembering to make their site as accessible as possible to accomodate those who are not using traditional mouse click methods.
This guideline is a PRITORITY 1 if the embedded user interface is require for interaction, otherwise it becomes a PRIORITY 2.
