The main problem I'm having with WCAG 2.0 is that if there's any need for Yet Another Document why shouldn't the WG decide whether they want something to be more like an ISO standard? If not, why not? IMO there needs to be such a document and I don't believe it will include much directly relating to its "whyness". If this is not to fulfill that function, then what's the point? We already have the widely disseminated WCAG 1.0 and most of the effort is towards mapping the new one to it, to limited success. The change in the "conformance model" has largely been in response to dissatisfaction with some users with the P1/P2/P3 model and whichever rating system is decided on will produce similar dissatisfactions with somebody. Whatever was "broke" about 1.0 should be "fixed" by creating an ISO type document that will be largely gobbledygook for most readers, but will form a basis for actually making accessible documents for the Web. It won't need any more "justification" than already exists in the EOWG resources. -- Love. It's Bad Luck to be Superstitious!
