When I published "To Hell with WCAG 2" on A List Apart last year, the Working Group pretended it never happened. I won't be letting you get away with that again. Another of the invited experts ejected by the bullies who rule(d) the Working Group, Gian Sampson-Wild, has written an article, also at A List Apart, making the case that testability just isn't working as a requirement for WCAG 2 guidelines (rather, "success criteria"). She also makes the case that "testability" seems to be intentionally vague or intentionally undefined, or that the definition is intentionally obscure. In addition, there is too much wiggle room even with ostensibly testable success criteria. As comments are open on that article, and this mailing list is always available, I'm sure that Working Group members will engage with the actual Web they seek to regulate (or upend or subvert) and supply their own comments. <http://www.alistapart.com/articles/testability> -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Accessibility <http://joeclark.org/access/> Expect criticism if you top-post
