I still disagree in a certain sense. It's not the "site" that's "universal" 
it's the semantics that must be made available barrier-free (and it's not 
only priority 1 it's the first priority).

There is semantic content that is what is loosely called "reality" and it 
is divorced from how it is structured and how it is presented and how it's 
interacted with and even what it "does".

Perhaps everything else is "technique" but providing uncluttered access to 
the underlying semantics is a basic principle and should be expressed in 
guidelines. In fact it may be what the guidelines are all about.
