I'm not 100% certain whether you are suggesting that WAI/WCAG are currently just concerned with HTML-based content or if they _should_ only be concerned with doing this. Accessible or not yet, there is more to the web than HTML. If someone develops "foo", a large portion of the computer world goes along with it despite accessibility issues, and HTML falls to the wayside, the WAI/WCAG needs to be there. I don't want to misrepresent your opinion so I'm asking what you meant, but I'd have a hard time agreeing with an HTML-only WCAG/WAI.
