My assumption is that every test sample developed by this TF must map to a WCAG 2.0 Technique. For this reason, I propose we will not use "expertGuidance" in this TF (unless we just point to the procedure section of the respective technique). >>>> Finally, we will now need to create WCAG 2.0 "rulesets" metadata and >>>> use it in the test metadata, right? >>> Or reuse BenToWeb's rulesets.xml... >> >> Can you guarantee that it will not change?

Also continuity after the BenToWeb project ends. For now I think we can just go ahead with the existing rulesets.xml.
