Re: Techniques harvesting

Thank you for providing the summary of the discussion results on success
criterion-technique mapping.  I think that this summary will help to 
organize future
work.

I notice that there are no direct links included for
the techniques listed in your summary to specific techniques in the current
WCAG2.0 Techniques Documents (for example, to the HTML Techniques for WCAG2.0
[1], or to the CSS Techniques for WCAG2.0 [2]); the techniques listed in 
your summary are
bulleted, with no such cross-reference to such specific techniques.

Per the previous, are there techniques listed in your summary that are not 
in the current WCAG2.0 techniques documents referenced on the WCAG WG site 
[3]? Conversely, are there techniques in the current WCAG2.0 techniques 
documents on the WCAG WG site [3] that are not in your
summary? Do the existing WCAG2.0 techniques documents on the WCAG WG site
[3] need to be updated for consistency with your summary (as it reflects
current thinking via the teleconference discussions)?

Thanks and best wishes
