Laws have a different test to become a reality than the current W3C WAI UA guidelines. While legislators in some countries may choose the UA recommendations as a basis for an accessibility law, I am sure they will be greatly transformed in the process and look quite different. It would also be one of many documents and other types of input that would go into any law. I think it would be wise of us to focus on our present task of developing useful design recommendations to meet the needs of W3C member companies and persons with disabilities throughout the world, than to contemplate how our guidelines would be used in developing legislation in any particular country.
