On the last call Jutta asked everyone to have a look at the new WCAG 2.0 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-WCAG20-20050630/) so that we can compile a list of comments from AUWG. Here is a start: --- Notes on WCAG 2.0: [1] WCAG Editorial Note: We are currently looking at how to handle unknown or community-contributed, authored units that are created using an aggregator supplied tool. We are currently considering whether aggregated content would be judged to conform to WCAG if the aggregator supplied tool can conform to the authoring tools accessibility guidelines (ATAG) 2.0. COMMENT: Remember, ATAG conformant tools don’t require WCAG conformance, they just enable and support it. [2] WCAG Authoring Tools section COMMENT: Meets our request. [3] Validity debate: COMMENT: My personal view is that validity is probably not “necessary for a minimum level of accessibility” (i.e. a level 1 success criteria item), but perhaps should be retained at a higher level. [4] Technology assumptions and the "baseline" - Having a number of pre-set baseline scenarios might make the tool's job easier as it decides which parts of WCAG to enforce, - It might be useful to examine how ATAG's "technology-specific WCAG benchmark document" integrates with the "baseline". --- Cheers, Jan
