Indeed, PPK is considered an expert. The WCAG Working Group has a
reprehensible recent history of simply ignoring outside expert advice.
("Semantics," people. "Semantics.") You don't have enough expert bodies to
work on JavaScript techniques; you've now been offered another expert
body. I fully expect the Working Group to either:
* ignore the offer
* deny that PPK is an expert
* dispute the definition of "expert" since it already has a sense in the
W3C lexicon
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Take PPK up on his offer.
