Remarks and explanations

(a) A text equivalent for every non-text element shall be provided (e.g., via "alt", "longdesc", or in element content).

Only the site logo (or icon) is a supplied non-text element, and that is properly marked up with "alt" text. The rest of the content will be created by the users. Users will need to ensure compliance when they author content. They are prompted in the "Accessibility Considerations" section of the WikiStyleGuide page. For example, see: http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiStyleGuide#nid1YO 

(b) Equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be synchronized with the presentation.

supports

Where applicable (e.g. on the SINE wiki, where only one server-side image element, the site logo or icon, is involved on the wiki, which links users back to the WikiHomePage), this link function does have their equivalent text link (e.g. at the top left) of every wiki page.

(f) Client-side image maps shall be provided instead of server-side image maps except where the regions cannot be defined with an available geometric shape.

(m) When a web page requires that an applet, plug-in or other application be present on the client system to interpret page content, the page must provide a link to a plug-in or applet that complies with §1194.21(a) through (l).

User prompted
