Hi Tim, Good points.... NEW 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 ATAG 2.0 concept of "accessible authoring practices", which authoring tools are required 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 Claims are supported by WCAG conformance claims for examples of Web content produced by the authoring tool (e.g., samples of automatically-generated content) Cheers, Jan Tim Boland wrote: > > Does WCAG define "accessible authoring practice" - the relevant sentence > following seems to imply that it does?
