What we want to say is:
(a) use technologies (or combinations of technologies) which are designed
to be accessible -- a category which includes W3C specifications
among others
(b) use technologies which you can reasonably expect to be supported --
which means, for example, sending raw XML and XSLT converting to
SVG and CSS will likely be unhelpful, even though those are W3C
technologies
