No. It was discussed at the meeting on Sunday morning and decided that we would include a single guideline on making the tool accessible, and that the techniques for that guideline/checkpoints would aim to provide a complete checklist of user interface accessibility requirements. This makes good sense to me - it is better than finding that developers on some platform have been referred to guidelines which miss something important, although they are in a set of guidelines which are in other guidelines for different platforms or systems. details from the minutes, which will be linked from the group home page shortly, and are at http://www.w3.org/WAI/AU/f2f-toronto1 for Sunday's sessions.
