Yes, I think this is a good addition. (It means that we have to resolve the "baseline requirements" issue). chaals On Tue, 16 Apr 2002, Cynthia Shelly wrote: Overall, this looks good. I would add "and the technologies available to meet those needs." to the end of #2. Wendy had written We are proposing a new R2 to supplement the existing R1 proposal. R1: WCAG 2.0 deliverables should be more understandable and usable by a wider audience than was anticipated for WCAG 1.0, including policy makers. While the WCAG WG does not set policy, harmonization of accessibility requirements helps drive demand for supporting implementations in Web applications; therefore it should be easy for policy makers and individuals responsible for implementing policy to understand, cite and/or adopt WCAG 2.0 and related deliverables. R2: We will try to express the technical requirements in language that policy makers can understand, adopt, and use, but technical requirements are not driven by policy; they are driven by the needs of users with disabilities.
