   - consensus about whether or not all of the 3rd group 
      need to be met to claim 3rd category of conformance?  

   - what do we want to call the 3 levels of conformance 
         - should we coord w/EO

[3]  

ALL LEVELS 
 
   Are testable.   Some success criteria are machine-testable. Others
require 
   human judgment. Success criteria that require human testing are 
   capable of yielding consistent results among multiple testers.
 

LEVEL 1 SUCCESS CRITERIA
 
    1. Do not set limits on content or presentation;
 
    2. Achieve a minimum level of accessibility through markup,
        scripting, or other technologies that interact with user agents,
        including assistive technologies;

    3. The working group felt could be reasonably be applied to all Web 
         resources;


LEVEL 2 SUCCESS CRITERIA

   1. Build on Level 1;
 
   2. Increase accessibility both though additional facilitation of user
agent based        
       accessibility and through content and/or presentation that provides
direct 
       accessibility without requiring intervention by user agents or
assistive technology;     
 
   3. The working group felt could be reasonably be applied to all Web
resources;

 
LEVEL 3 SUCCESS CRITERIA

1. Go beyond Level 1 and 2 to increase direct and user agent enhanced
accessibility





---------------
[4] Issue 487 - are tables for layout a violation of 1.3?
<http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=487>
