In content implemented using markup languages, the conventional name of conventional form fields, conventional buttons or controls, or conventional links can be programmatically determined.

The "or conventional links" grammatically turns the lis into an OR list, in which ANY of the the requirements can be met rather than all of them.

I suggest we turn this into a list of AND"s

In content implemented using markup languages, the conventional name of:

  • conventional form fields,
  • conventional buttons or controls, and
  • conventional links
    can be programmatically determined.

Otherwise, it could be like this:

In content implemented using markup languages, the conventional name of conventional form fields, conventional buttons or controls, and conventional links can be programmatically determined.

I don't think it was intended to make this an OR list and that is what this did. I've also put the items in an unordered list. I'm fine with or without an unordered list but things it's more readable like this.

The wording of bullets above does not work grammatically. I could live with the bullets as follows:

In content implemented using markup languages, the conventional name of the following are programmatically determined:

  • conventional form fields;
  • conventional buttons or controls; and
  • conventional links.

Shouldn’t it be “determinable” (instead of "determined"), as in:

In content implemented using markup languages, the conventional name of the following are programmatically determinable:

conventional form fields;
conventional buttons or controls; and
conventional links.

(or: can be programmatically determined)
