Kim and I did an update to the UAAG Abstract a few months ago. Today I reviewed our changes against the editorial comments from EOWG to make sure all of them were addressed. UAAG - Proposed UAAG 2.0 guides developers in designing user agents that make the web more accessible to people with disabilities. User agents include browsers, media players and applications that retrieve and render web content. A user agent that follows UAAG 2.0 will improve accessibility through its own user interface and its ability to communicate with other technologies, including assistive technologies. UAAG and supporting resources are also intended to meet the needs of different audiences, including developers, policy makers, and managers. All users, not just users with disabilities, will benefit from user agents that follow UAAG 2.0. In addition to helping developers of browsers and media players, UAAG 2.0 benefits developers of assistive technologies because it explains what types of information and control an assistive technology may expect from a user agent that follows UAAG 2.0. Assistive technologies not addressed directly by UAAG 2.0 (e.g. braille rendering) are still essential to ensuring web access for some users with disabilities. The "User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 2.0" (UAAG 2.0) is part of a series of accessibility guidelines published by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). UAAG is introduced in the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) Overview. UAAG Reference - Proposed UAAG 2.0 Reference provides supporting information for the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) 2.0. UAAG 2.0 guides developers in designing user agents that make the web more accessible to people with disabilities. User agents include browsers, media players and applications that retrieve and render web content. UAAG 2.0 Reference provides explanation of the intent of UAAG 2.0 success criteria, examples of implementation of the guidelines, best practice recommendations and additional resources for the success criteria. The "User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 2.0" (UAAG 2.0) and "UAAG 2.0 Reference" are part of a series of accessibility guidelines published by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). UAAG is introduced in the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) Overview.
