Re: Three possible mobile issues to consider

I think these are important issues.

Under WCAG, if one view conforms then the page passes WCAG. But WCAG came
before all these different views. Under our new Charter, the Mobile TF can
make requirements beyond current WCAG Success Criteria, we just can't take
away from the success criteria. In other words, a webmaster should be able
to pass the mobile standard, and still pass WCAG if they removed the mobile
Success criteria.


Cheers,
