Thanks, Wendy. I have very few comments, and they are quite minor. As far as I can tell, the document captures the consensus items that have developed over the past four months in meetings and list discussion. 2. "Each requirement must be easily verifiable." "Easily" is a subjective, often problematic adverb. If we're going to use it in a requirement, perhaps we should be more explicit about what we mean. Does this sentence contradict consensus item N7, "normative items should not be determined by how easy it is to test. (in time and effort) (Testability may be a criterion, but not ease of testing)"? 4. "Create accessible, innovative, internationalized Web sites." Why are "innovative" and "internationalized" here? I'm sure there's some history that I'm not aware of, but it seems to me that "create accessible Web sites" would be precise and sufficient. 5. "WCAG 2.0 will clearly identify the target audience of each requirement." I think we mean "target beneficiaries" or "intended beneficiaries of each requirement." We've just defined the requirements' audience in section 4--web developers, policymakers, teachers, etc.--and I think we should avoid using the same word ("audience") here to refer to users with disabilities. A1, A2, and A3 are still in a somewhat shorthand form. Perhaps we could revisit them for a few minutes in an upcoming telecon and try to capture the group consensus on these points in language that will be clearer to outside readers? --Jo >Hello, > >We would like to publish the Requirements for WCAG 2.0 Working Draft >on the W3C Technical Reports page.
