The TF has agreed on the following exit criteria as logged at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Apr/0072.html "The Criteria to exit Candidate Recommendation will be that there is a test suite that adequately covers the "must" requirements of the specification, with results showing that each requirement is implemented by at least two independently implemented publicly released user agents." It was further clarified that these criteria conform to the HTML-WG's current Decision Policy: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/public-permissive-exit-criteria.html The clarification, logged at the following URI, notes the following phrase with respect to implementation: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Apr/0044.html "may be "implemented by a different set of products, there is no requirement that all features be implemented by a single product." This language was incorporated in the HTML-WG's Decision Policy in order to account for the situation, as in the current instance, where assistive technology is providing key user support, not the browser. Please reply on list to this email with any objections or concerns. Silence will be taken to mean there is no objection, but positive responses are welcome. If there are no objections by 23:59 (Midnight) Boston Time Friday 2 May, this CfC will carry.
