Somewhat OT Section 508 and Note, Caution, and Warning Symbols in FM

[Diane Gaskill]

Hi everyone,

We are developing new FM templates for our next release of docs, and we have decided to make them 508 compliant.  I have reviewed quite a bit of information I found on the net (including the government sites) but I cannot find the answer to the one question I have regarding 508.

Are there special 508 versions of Note, Caution, and Warning symbols, or do the ANSI standard symbols meet 508 requirements?  At first glance, the ANSI symbols seem to meet the requirements, and we are including the words Note, Caution, and Warning (in the right cell of the 2-celled tables on the reference page) which is what 508 specifies, but I thought I'd check with all the experts on our list to make sure.

Thanks in advance for any shared knowledge.
