Re: Agenda

In response to conformance ideas:
I think one of the most interesting things that came out of last week's 
meeting [1] were the axes for possible priority definitions:
·       WCAG 1.0 - pure accessibility model
·       technical feasibility
·       reasonableness or mitigating factors or something

This gets into some of the big elephants and I think these will be what 
drive the priorities and our scheme.

In response to technology-specifics:
A very, very preliminary version of the HTML Techniques is now available at 
[2]:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-HTMLTECHS-20011118.html

It doesn't have a table of contents, the sections aren't numbered, the 
style sheets are a bit funky, there is some data that I'm not yet pulling 
from the xml file, etc.  BUT it is interesting to compare what Matt did for 
HTML techniques compared to what I did for CSS [3].

(Note that I'm announcing this in a thread called "Agenda" since it's not 
really ready for review yet, but I wanted to have it available for people 
during the call so that we can show what Matt came up with for 
HTML-specific tests).

In HTML he has "rules" in CSS I have a chart at the back [4] to provide 
tests for each checkpoint.  PDF techs [5] take a completely different 
approach with "PDF Checkpoints."

In general, I think  all of these point to what Jason talked about in his 
post, i.e. technology-specific success criteria.
