ACT Rules Format 1.0 Working Draft Updated

   8 March 2018
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/6889>

   An updated Working Draft of "Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Rules Format" was published today by the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AG WG). This draft addresses all comments received on the previous draft. Most importantly, the “Selector” approach was replaced with “Applicability” and “Expectation” pairs, to make ACT Rules less procedural. This draft is accompanied by sample ACT Rules that implement this rules format. Read about the the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
