The following draft updates are available for review as Editors' Drafts: - Techniques for WCAG 2.0 Editors' Draft http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2010/WD-WCAG20-TECHS-20100708/ - Understanding WCAG 2.0 Editors' Draft http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2010/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20100708/ *What is updated*: Draft updates include addition of Flash techniques, and clarifications based on input from the public and translators.
