Understanding WCAG 2.0

WCAG 2.0 is the new version of the Web Content Accessibility  
Guidelines, the document is still a draft for now, but it's trying to  
make it simpler than WCAG 1.0 and certainly easier to apply to more  
Web content as opposed to only HTML type of content.

A kind of primer to understand WCAG has been published. It's the  
first version of the document. Enjoy your reading.

Understanding WCAG 2.0
W3C Working Draft 23 November 2005

This document, "Understanding WCAG 2.0," is an essential guide to  
understanding and using "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines  
2.0" [WCAG20]. It is part of a series of documents which support WCAG  
2.0.

WCAG 2.0 establishes a set of "success criteria" to define  
conformance to the WCAG 2.0 Guidelines. A success criterion is a  
testable statement that will be either true or false when applied to  
specific Web content. "Understanding WCAG 2.0" provides detailed  
information about each success criterion including its intent; the  
key terms that are used in the success criterion; examples of Web  
content that meets the success criteria using various Web  
technologies (for instance, across HTML, CSS, XML) and common  
examples of Web content that does not meet the success criterion.  
Finally, this document also explains how the success criteria in WCAG  
2.0 help people with different types of disabilities.
