Re: Authoring tools and WCAG 2.0's "Accessibility Supported"

Hi Dana,

Yes, I was thinking out loud.  But if a FUTURE checker could check HTML 
and SVG, for example, it might have an option where the user of the 
checker could specify that within their intended use population SVG was 
not "accessibility supported".

Cheers,
Jan
