Each checkpoint has a priority level assigned by the Working Group
based on the checkpoint's impact on accessibility.
Some checkpoints specify a priority level that may change under
certain (indicated) conditions.
[Priority 1]
A Web content developer
must 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.
[Priority 2]
A Web content developer
should 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.
[Priority 3]
A Web content developer
may address
this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it
