Having studied the relevant parts of http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH-19990226/ these are my thoughts
0.0
Where possible sites should be transparent in meaning without the use of text.
~1-5% of the adult population are non-readers.
1.0 Provide text equivalents for text.
ensure that the minimum text is used that conveys the meaning, with links to details.
~50% have a vocabulary of 2k words.
1.01
Provide data in site titles (meta tabs) as to number of words used and readability (flesch reading ease).
1.1
Provide a means in the common browsers for:
turning off text labels (ALT) for non-readers.
excluding complex or lengthy sites (1.01), conversely trite or youthful ones
z.z
Provide tabs for text in HTML
