I agree this is a good idea, independently of the extent to which the different sets of guidelines are well known to developers, which as Yvette rightly notes, varies according to context. However, it isn't clear how the interdependencies should be stated. Is it sufficient to say that if any parts of the content satisfy the definition of "user agent" or "authoring tool", then the respective guidelines should be applied? This is not the purpose for which the definitions were written. An alternative would be to stipulate that if it is possible for part or all of the content to conform to UAAG or ATAG, then it must so conform. A techniques document could then set out the characteristics that indicate one is dealing with an authoring tool or user agent component.
