      • E-publication includes basic navigation (usually less detailed than TOC-based navigation)

Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
