The W3 certainly aren't the only organisation creating technologies, core ECMAscript for example is an actual standard, and one with excellent support in browsers - there's no chance of getting developers away from using it, and all those nice W3 DOM bindings will be become unusable. (In strict interpretations they are now as it requires completely non-standard means to get to the HTMLDocument element.) > If you develop for an obscure technology that is not supported by assistive > technology that the whole WCAG becomes ridicules. The 4.3 suggestion you quoted certainly seems to cover this requiring the technology to follow UAAG. > Also as soon as technologies move outside the w3 space the work done by W3 > to promote accessibility through RDF, the semantic web etc will become less > useful making that page less accessible. Can you elaborate? - EARL (for example) is quite capable about making assertions on anything. Jim.
