RE: Starter comments on WCAG 2.0 draft

Valid code is NOT a disability issue. 
If a piece of software doesn't compile, it's not a disability issue.  If a 
piece of hardware is physically broken, is not a disability issue.  I 
believe we need to keep the definition of accessibility to only deal with 
disabilities.  If not, we'll go crazy adding all the other prerequisites; 
such as: Is there electricity?  Are there phone lines to access the 
internet?, Is there a working computer?  Is everything bug free? etc.etc. 

I believe the code should be valid, just not that that should be in an 
accessibility checklist for Authoring tool developers.  They have other 
checklist for that stuff - lets not loose credibility with them...
