RE: WCAG 1.0 - checkpoint 11.4, policy and parallel web sites

As long as one of the N sites meets all the guidelines -- and it is the
version you get if you don't or can't do content negotiation - then it
should be fine.  

Else I think is would be a problem.

This could mean that we could have inaccessible web sites with "n" other
parallel web sites.
This could be good if contents are presented in different "version" by css
or xslt, but made "n" parallel sites - imho - means not support the "design
for all". I think that this point is one of the point that could be rewieved
in a wcag 1.0 second edition and/or with an integration in the cited note (a
wcag errata?)

    Yes, as far as I understand, that is true. Why is this problematic
    (other than for the reasons cited in the checkpoint and note)?
