Re: XML and XSLT Versions of Draft WCAG 2.0

Kynn,

Thanks for doing this!

Are you aware of the work going on within the W3C on producing 
specifications using XML/XSLT?  Here is the latest bit of work 
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/spec-prod/  I believe it is member private.  Do 
you have member access?

I should have mentioned this before. I have not compared the DTD/Schema you 
are using with the one that the other W3C folks are working on.  It would 
be best for us to use the schema that the rest of the W3C is using.  It 
would be good to check the Schema and transforms for accessibility 
issues.  I have not looked at this stuff in a while and am interested in 
your reaction.
