Like the one that is usually linked to > http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG1A-Conformance.html.en . One problem that I see is: For HTML validity you have strict rules that can be checked automatically. In fact that is what makes up validation (at least in the SGML context): checking against a formal grammar, like a referenced DTD. For the WCAG accessibility levels it is not sufficient to pass an automated test. So the logo could only claim "passed XYZ automated test with no errors". -- Johannes Koch - Competence Center BIKA Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT.LIFE) Schloss Birlinghoven, D-53757 Sankt Augustin, Germany Phone: +49-2241-142628
