This reference document is highly accessible in 

my hardware and software environment, and the 

material is well organized, offering a

summary of each technique with a link to the full 

explanation in the techniques documents.



I am confident this reference will be useful to 

content developers who want to know how to apply 

the guidelines with their chosen technologies, 

wish to avoid working through lengthy techniques 

documents, but find the application of the

high-level success criteria in the normative 

document not to be straightforwardly obvious.

Proposed Change:
Consider whether to add a view in which all the 

glossary definitions in the guidelines are 

(optionally, of course) inserted into the body of 

the document, as in the \"key terms\" sections of 

\"Understanding WCAG 2.0\". 

Consider also whether to publish the PHP source 

code of the quick reference in case developers 

want to install it on their intranets.



I would further suggest that when WCAG 2.0 

reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage, a 

prominent link be provided from the normative

guidelines document to the Quick Reference. For 

many developers, I expect, the Quick Reference 

will be the preferred means of reading the 

guidelines.
