So far there is only one (1) illustration in WCAG 2. I daresay we need a hand.

You threw this on the table, now clean it up.

Pick a guideline or a checkpoint and illustrate away.

My (feeble?) attempt at a set of icons for the document and each guideline, 
can be seen/heard at http://rdf.pair.com/xguide.htm  (each icon links to an 
earcon).

I've found both the audio and visual "-cons" to be appropriate but that 
they will persist through analysis/translation/discussion borders on the 
unthinkable. The Spanish translation omits the sounds because they need 
translation just as much as the words did. Ultimately some sort of 
multi-media "language" that promotes easy translation may emerge from 
efforts like these.

However the plain/simple/no-longer-arguable point is that we *must* have 
something akin to these built into our document else it will continue as 
one critic (rightly?) claims: "opaque, very poorly organized, daunting, and 
in many cases unrealistic." http://www.joeclark.org/accessiblog.html

So in answer to your volunteering, I would hope to see some specifics to go 
with the point you so emphatically raised in the first place. And not just 
Jonathan.
