FWIW, this seems to me to be essentially were we are with validity and WCAG1. That is, this proposal is far too weak. But I suppose that depends what happens with Guideline 4.1: Use technologies according to specification. > I agree with you that validity is a great factor in > making sure things can be programmatically determined Not merely a great factor, but explicitly necessary. > which is why I want to include it in the techniques > for all these success criteria. That is not good enough. > I don't see why it is necessary to put it in the > guidelines as well. Clearly, but you would be mistaken about that. Yvette, do you imagine your proposal as being compatible with removing validity as a Level 2 (or 3) success criteria?
