Reworking Moble TF Doc to turn into WACG Extension

Hi All

I've spent the day with our main mobile document, to begin a discussion and
reorganization of Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other W3C/WAI
Guidelines Apply to Mobile. The original wording is kept in tact wherever
possible, with small adjustments for grammar on proposed new Success
Criteria. The new SCs are only slightly tweaked and will need more work.
This is the beginning of the process and we'd have to address or
incorporate all concerns and comments on recent posts to the mailing list.
I've incorporated Detlev's work on Success Criteria also.

I would post on Github but I'm still figuring out SourceTree
​and didn't want to delay.

The purpose of this is reorganization is to:

-Tease out the advice that can be turned into WCAG Guidelines, Success
Criteria, and Techniques-
-Document which advice cannot become Success Criteria with their current
wording
-See if they can be fixed to be Success Criteria
-Or move them to advisory (best practices), or Sufficient Techniques for an
existing Success Criteria understanding that almost no one follows advisory
or best practice advice.
-Recommend moving all prose that is not a Success Criteria, Guideline or
Technique to the Understanding Doc for these new Success Criteria,
Guidelines, etc.
-Turn the information into a form digestible as an Normative Extension
Spec. for WCAG 2

The two core prerequisites that allow advice to become a Success Criteria
for WCAG 2 are:

Summary and conclusions

-The big take away is the introduction of a new Guideline 2.5 under which
about 5 new Success Criterion where Touch advice would fall.
-There are 11 new Success Criteria. (Some could be demoted to techniques)
-There are 17 New Advisory Success Criteria (some may be reworked to SCs,
or allocated to techniques)
-There are 10 new techniques
-Some of the advice in the document is not testable, or does not apply in
all circumstances, which turns them into best practices or advisory under
current WCAG formulation.


Cheers,
