RE: Authoring tools and WCAG 2.0's "Accessibility Supported"

Jan-
 
Sorry if I am miss-understanding your meaning here-but to your point with regards to checkers-are you saying that the checker should be configurable by
 the user in such a way that the user can identify the technologies (AT or User Agent) that should be supported-and then based on those settings-check against that? 
 
Thanks-
Dana

Just a thought...

Looking at WCAG 2.0's concept of "Accessibility Supported"
(http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#accessibility-supporteddef) I started
wondering about support that authoring tools might provide.

Checkers aren't likely advanced enough yet but I can imagine
multi-format checkers that would have settings re: which technologies
the user believed to be accessibility supported. (or similarly at the
stage of choosing formats)

Any other thoughts?

Cheers,
Jan
