Re: Step 1.e: Define the Techniques to be used

Hi

It's not their job to know accessibility in term of wcag conformance 
with WCAG vocabulary, it's their job to know how to make and design 
accessible code with the technology they use. At this time I don't WCAG 
techniques is very helpfull for that. It's a point I already discuss 
with shady and one of the reason I work on Accessibility Steps
