It has been pointed out (thanks, Carlos) that for trainers to have as complete a set of resources to use in their training it must be pointed out to them that, e.g. pointers to the WAI techniques documents must include caveats along the lines of the unfortunate "until user agents..." clause. I.e., browser incompatabilities that conflict with the urge to use CSS, etc. should be noted and updated as the conflicts ease. However this should not stop us from providing would-be trainers of Web authors and managers with as full a set of resources contributing to accessibility as is possible. So when, as I'm sure you will, you contribute submissions for inclusion in the "resources for training" please include any notices of possible problems with their use. If we can find *normative* documents from other than W3C sources that might fill the instructor's tool box in this area, we should discuss whether to incorporate their intent and content or merely link to them. Several commercial institutions have policies and guidelines in these matters that may differ from as well as amplify our intent. So this thread should be used to deal with: suggestions for further inclusions in the training resources list; caveats for the already-included items; discussions about inclusion of "outside" resources in connection with their probable worth and reliability of persistence; should in-line hyperlinks be to externals? -- Love.
