Unfortunately, there are still some problems with this technique. Since you have merged your response into our comment #1 at http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0706-wcag2-techniques/ I will make further comments in that thread, and recommend that this thread stops here. See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-core/2007OctDec/0135.html for my comments.
