In these circumstances there are various options (this entire issue requires discussion with the user agent working group): 1. To specify conformance only to a subset of Level A of UAAG 1.0 as a minimum implementation requirement (I have explained earlier in this thread why this is problematic). 2. To specify that there need only be a set of user agents which together have features that amount to UAAG 1.0 conformance (see earlier discussion). 3. To take WCAG 2.0 to last call only when at least one user agent conforms to Level A of UAAG, thereby satisfying the dependency. 4. To have no success criteria at level 1 of guideline 4.2. This would mean that content developers could use whatever technologies they wished in conforming at level 1. I can hear the objections already! 5. To adopt some other minimum implementation and compatibility requirement - I think this would essentially be the same as choosing a subset of UAAG 1.0, however, and would have the same drawbacks. What have I missed?
