Hi. What do you mean by "procedures in the Techniques document already"? 
The ones in pseudo code listed at 
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-TECHS-20060801/Overview.html ? 
Maybe other document?

I agree :-). However, for those which are not machine testable a 
pseudo-code or paragraph could be OK. My proposal is to combine pseudo 
code and machine-testable rules "as possible" so that both pseudo code and 
machine testable rules COMPLEMENT/REINFORCE each other.

Cheers.
