Are we really proposing modifications to WCAG 1.0 at this 
point? Forbidding other solutions seems like we are narrowing 
the original guideline.

Or are we arguing that WCAG2 should take a narrower stance?

Although it may be easier to ensure equivalence using CSS or 
XSLT on the same underlying content, there is neither a 
guarantee that the transformation really is equivalent, nor can 
we claim that other approaches won't produce equivalent 
pages.
