Version http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-20020828.html There is a lot of good content in this document. The main principles are OK, some explanations may be fine tuned a bit e.g. Operable. Ensure that the interface elements in the content are operable by any user @@what about various devices? also preventing errors would be good to mention somewhere?@@. Navigable. Facilitate content orientation and navigation @@with spatial and sequential means?@@ Also the general checkpoints seem to be pretty reasonable. My main concern is the definition of conformance levels. I think it is very difficult to do it for each general checkpoint as it is so abstract. The conformance levels become very artificial or are empty as it is hard to think what to put there. It would be much easier to do the conformance for the various mark-up languages and it might also make the transition from WCAG 1 to WCAG 2 easier. It would mean that we need to do updates for each language, which we probably would do anyway. Another alternative is to divide the checkpoints for more and less important ones as we did before in WCAG 1 but also that seems to be difficult in the general level. Marja
