Hello Sailesh, Thank you for your comments on WCAG 2.0 [1]. This email shows how the WCAG WG has attempted to address one of your concerns. We will send a separate email for each of the issues you raised. Please let us know if we have adequately addressed your issues. Issue 388 [2] Sailesh Panchang writes: It appears that there is a shift away from accessibility for PWD to universal access in WCAG 2.0. Consider that: i. Five WCAG 1.0 checkpoints including 3 P1 map to an extended WCAG 2 checkpoint 4.2 about declaring technology/providing alternative content. ii. WCAG2's checkpoint 2.4 about navigation mechanisms maps to 13 checkpoints of WCAG 1.0 some of which are P1 and some are P2. Checkpoint 2.4 of WCAG 2 is categorized as extended and not core. iii. On the other hand, checkpoints 4.1 and 4.3 relating to language in WCAG 1.0 now have become core under 3.1 of WCAG 2. === 11 March 2004 WD we are no longer using the terms "Core" and "Extended." With the new organization in the 11 March 2004 Working Draft [3], do you still feel that there is a move away from accessibility towards universal access?
