I have an action
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/12/07-wai-wcag-minutes.html#action03> to
propose a reword of the paragraph on sufficient techniques in the
Conformance proposals introduction
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2007/01/conformance-revs#conformance>. Here is
my proposed rewording for the paragraph beginning "For each success
criterion, there is a list of techniques deemed by the Working Group to
be sufficient to meet the requirement." Michael
For each success criterion, there is a list of techniques deemed by
the Working Group to be sufficient to meet the requirement. For each
sufficient technique, there is a test to determine whether the
technique has been successfully implemented. If the test(s) for a
"sufficient" technique (or combination of techniques) are passed,
then that success criterion has been met. It is not necessary to
pass all tests for all techniques, only for at least one sufficient
technique per success criterion. It is also not necessary to meet
the requirements of the success criterion using the techniques
identified as sufficient in the documentation provided by the
working group. There may be other techniques, which are not
documented by the working group, that would also meet the success
criterion. When using such externally provided techniques to meet
WCAG requirements, it is important that they be created and
documented by individuals or organizations who are expert in the
requirements of WCAG 2.0.
