We had specified in the ATAG document that output must conform to WCAG, noting that WCAG specified validity. When they learn that validity is not a part of WCAG anymore, they will likely add it as an explicit requirement in ATAG 2. ATAG-conforming authoring tools will never introduce tag soup. >So as developer and ac rep of IWA/HWG i'm asking again to think and evalutate the resl impact of wcag 2.0 that will become a reference for 2006-2007 (xhtml 2.0 era...) > > I don't think anybody believes that 2007 will be the era of XHTML 2.0, least of all the HTML WG. It's going to take years to get to end-to-end validity as a requirement. But the good news is, when XHTML 2 is a viable platform, valid code will be a technical requirement of the language, and so we _still_ won't need to specify it in WCAG. - mReceived on Friday, 17 June 2005 21:41:01 UTC
