The HTML techniques[1] document for WCAG 2.0 will contain XHTML techniques, but it's not presently in a state I would call authoritative. I think that the best way presently to claim compliance to a set of guidelines relating to XHTML right now would be to follow both the HTML techniques for WCAG 1 and the XML Accessibility Guidelines [2], and where the HTML techniques are lacking or the two conflict, taking guidance from XAG. XAG is designed for developers creating their own XML-based language, but may point you in the right direction. It is important to note, however, that support for XHTML may be sporadic among assistive technologies, and some may need to make use of out-of-date techniques. Are you having any specific hangups that someone could clarify? - m [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/wcagtech020320.html [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/xag.html
