In this document, "to prompt" means to
require input from the user. The user agent should allow users to
configure how they wish to be prompted. For instance, for a user
agent functionality X, configurations might include: "always prompt
me before doing X," "never prompt me before doing X," "never do X
but tell me when you could have," and "never do X and never tell me
that you could have."

A "prompt" is a request for author input,
either information or a decision. A prompt requires author
response. For example, a text equivalent entry field prominently
displayed in an image insertion dialog would constitute a prompt.
Prompts can be used to encourage authors to provide information
needed to make content accessible (such as alternative text
equivalents).

From User Agent
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) |
Glossary for this
source
A user agent renders a document by applying
formatting algorithms and style information to the document's
elements. Formatting depends on a number of factors, including
where the document is rendered: on screen, on paper, through
loudspeakers, on a braille display, or on a mobile device. Style
information (e.g., fonts, colors, and synthesized speech prosody)
may come from the elements themselves (e.g., certain font and
phrase elements in HTML), from style sheets, or from user agent
settings. For the purposes of these guidelines, each formatting or
style option is governed by a property and each property may take
one value from a set of legal values. Generally in this document,
the term "property" has the meaning defined in CSS 2 ([CSS2],
section 3). A reference to "styles" in this document means a set of
style-related properties. The value given to a property by a user
agent at installation is called the property's default value.

A "property" is a piece of information
about an element, for example structural information (e.g., it is
item number 7 in a list, or plain text) or presentation information
(e.g., that it is marked as bold, its font size is 14). In XML and
HTML, properties of an element include the type of the element
(e.g., IMG or DL), the values of its attributes, and information
associated by means of a style sheet. In a database, properties of
a particular element may include values of the entry, and
acceptable data types for that entry.

Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and
Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
| Glossary for
this source
Software that receives HTTP requests and
forwards that request toward the origin server (possibly by way of
an upstream proxy) using HTTP. The proxy receives the response from
the origin server and forwards it to the requesting client. In
providing its forwarding functions, the proxy may modify either the
request or response or provide other value-added functions. For the
purposes of this specification, "proxy" refers to request/response
forwarding functionality, which may exist in a stand-alone HTTP
proxy or may be co-located with a gateway or origin server.
