I know the official comment period is over, but I hope this small suggestion could be taken into consideration nonetheless: Problem: when discussing the guidelines in email or a forum, i refer to the guidelines document (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/) by initially just scrolling and reading, or doing an in-page search. once i found what i was looking for, i'd want to link to that particular guideline or SC. but, to do that (to find the fragment identifier for that particular part of the document) i either have to construct it by having a peek at the markup, or by going all the way back to the TOC, finding the link to the section, and copying that url instead. Solution: similar in effect to "permalink" style links on blog comments, it may be useful to have an unobtrusive but clear "link to this guideline/SC/etc" link (either preceding the name of the principle/guideline/sc, or following it as part of the "Understanding / How to meet / etc" links. this way, once i found the relevant part of the guidelines, i can simply grab the url from the adjacent link, without losing my place in the document by having to scroll back to the TOC. -- Patrick H.
