Re: difference between techniques and procedures

Hi Richard, 

Nice suggestion. Building this into your earlier suggestion…

Does it mean 1.e becomes:

Step 1.e: Defined the test procedures which will be used. 
Requirement 1.e: The test procedures that will be used to evaluate the conformance to WCAG 2.0 should be specified.

And, to update 4b to become "Step 4.b: Use test procedures from WCAG 2.0 Techniques where possible". (following through 4.b with changes like 'using test procedures from…')

If it does - you have my 100% backing.

All the best 

Alistair

This would avoid confusion between the techniques that the web-designer uses to create an accessible page and the processes we, as evaluators, use to check that the page is compliant (either by using a W3C technique, or some other technique).
