Sorry. I didn't realize those were WG URIs instead of URIs to the  
output of those WGs.

Anyway, my point is that simply referring people to WAI or WAI output  
is not helpful when WAI documents don't address all the use cases that  
the HTML5 draft is addressing and when the WAI output isn't so clear  
that people would be confident in interpreting it.

Ideally, this would work by referencing the WAI documents if the WAI  
documents actually covered the spectrum of cases that needs to be  
covered and were as readable as the HTML5 draft.
