PROPOSED wording: Relationship to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) ATAG 2.0 is intended to be used in conjunction with WCAG 2.0 or similar Web content accessibility guidance (e.g., WCAG 1.0, regulations that include WCAG 2.0, etc.). The relationship is as follows: - The normative requirements of ATAG 2.0 have been formulated to apply to many different types of authoring tools that in turn may produce a range of Web content technologies. - ATAG 2.0 points to WCAG in order to define the concept of "accessible authoring practices", which ATAG 2.0 requires authoring tools to support in various ways. - The normative requirements of WCAG are themselves not technology-specific. However, specific informative guidance for satisfying the success criteria for particular Web content technologies are provided in separate documents. - ATAG 2.0 Conformance Claimants are responsible for ensuring that whenever ATAG 2.0 requires that some outputted content (e.g., automatically-generated content) must meet WCAG, that a representative sample of such content does indeed meet WCAG's conformance requirements.
