The Technology Neutral requirement was added last summer at the request of AGWG. At the time, we didn't know how we were going to do that. Now that we have the information architecture prototype, we have a good idea that the Guidelines will be technology neutral, and the Methods will be technology specific. For example, most the success criteria under Robust will become Methods, because they are specific to HTML. We will be discussing this at Friday's meeting. Alternate proposals are welcome. Technology Neutral Separate the text description of the guideline from the technical platform (such as HTML, CSS) so that the purpose of the guideline is understandable by a non-technical audience. The technical guidance is easily displayed, but is not essential to understanding the guideline. This also gives the ability to apply the guidelines to emerging technology, even if the technical advice does not yet exist.
