<< The guidelines are not specific to HTML or CSS, although the examples associated with some of the checkpoints are. >> But it's also admitted that sites that make heavy use of DHTML are not adequately covered by the guidelines. When this was raised before, I was told that DHTML is not a W3C recommendation and thus ignored. How can you say the guidelines are not specific to HTML? All throughout the guidelines are specific HTML/CSS items. The whole set of guidelines is presented with heavy HTML influence with names such as "pages", "elements", "tables", etc. A major problem with the guidelines is that it assumes HTML as a static entity of pages, linked together. A set of guidelines, such as Trace's, Microsoft's or IBM's, *then* applied as techniques to HTML/CSS/DHTML would be much more useful.
