I might, if I ever get off my butt and finish my last project related to CSS-TECHS. See, the problem is that WCAG 1 depends on the existence of this document. WCAG 1 is unusable as written without this document being maintained. I realize this will go away in WCAG 2, but for now it means that WCAG 1 is way up in the air. At the very least we should put a notice saying "THIS IS NO LONGER BEING MAINTAINED" on the page, and provide a strategy for web developers to deal with WCAG 1 until WCAG 2 is issued. If nobody objects, I'll think about what we want to say there about this and send it to the WG for consideration. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Web Accessibility Expert-for-hire http://kynn.com/resume January Web Accessibility eCourse http://kynn.com/+d201 Forthcoming: Teach Yourself CSS in 24 Hours
