Attached is an extremely rough draft of my first thoughts at possible mappings of WCAG 2.0 WD 10/27/03 Guidelines and Success Criteria to CSS2.1 CR. These thoughts are "off the top of my head" but are meant to stimulate discussion and thinking. The document is oriented towards levels of WCAG conformance. Comments welcome; not all of these sections of CSS2.1 will probably be applicable in practice, but I "stretched" in including them, thinking it would be easier to eliminate them later. It may not be possible to satisfy all WCAG success criteria just by using CSS 2.1. I know until I actually generate CSS code I will not know if any of this is accurate, but this is just to put something on the table. I like Michael Cooper's observation of strong vs. weak CSS implications, so I included that as well (thanks! - I'd like to explore that excellent idea further). Since CSS2.1 reflects actual implementation experience of CSS2, and does not involve the conjecture of CSS3, I thought it might be suitable to do a similar mapping to what I did for CSS3. Also, CSS2.1 will (I believe) soon be a CR (with a CSS2.1 test suite sometime) next year, so it "has some teeth to it." Thanks and best wishes, Tim Boland NIST
