WAI-ARIA Primer

Dear editors,

Both in the W3C Working Draft <http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-primer> and in
the W3C Editor's Draft <http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-primer/>, the
following sentence appears:

"Until now, the W3C WAI has discouraged the use of JavaScript per Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
1.0<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/wai-pageauth.html#tech-scripts>
 ([WCAG1 <http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-primer/#ref_WCAG1>], Checkpoint
6.1)."

However, WCAG 1.0 Checkpoint 6.1 does not refer to JavaScript at all, let
alone discourage its use. It would make more sense for the sentence above to
be replaced with the following:

"Previously, the W3C WAI encouraged the use of graceful degradation per Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
1.0<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/wai-pageauth.html#gl-new-technologies>
 ([WCAG1 <http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-primer/#ref_WCAG1>], Guideline 6)."

Yours,

Sam Kuper
