On the other hand, the WAI will only undercut its effectiveness if we are sending different messages by the ER guideline-implementation guidance and the GL techniques document. In a sense, the ER guideline-implementation guidance is another segment of the WCAG techniques: tool techniques, whereas the WCAT is author techniques. They should be consistent and any conflict should be trapped by Len to arrange a dialog to resolve any misunderstandings or disagreements. On the whole, where it affects what should be in the resources as served, the GL group should still be regarded as having senior authority even for points where the WCAG requires some interpretation to be concrete.
