A last minute check of the WCAG CR [1] against the requirements of the Quality Assurance Specification Guidelines (QASpecGL) [2] might be appropriate, to make sure all the requirements are covered if possible.. I know there has been discussion of this topic in the past, but the WCAG CR has changed since those discussions took place..? The QASpecGL requirements (with associataed links/explanations) are: (1) include a conformance clause [3] (2) define the scope [4] (3) identify who and/or what will implement the specification [5] (4) make a list of normative references [6] (5) define the terms used in the normative parts of the specification [7] (6) create conformance labels for each part of the conformance model [8] (7) use a consistent style for conformance requirements and explain how to distinguish them [9] (8) indicate which conformance requirements are mandatory, which are recommended, and which are optional [10] (9) if the technology is subdivided, then indicate which subdivisions are mandatory for conformance [11] (10) if the technology is subdivided, then address subdivision constraints [12] (11) address extensibility [13] (12) identify deprecated features [14] (13) define how each class of products handles each deprecated feature [15] Thanks and best wishes Tim Boland NIST [1]: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/CR-WCAG20-20080430/ [2]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/ [3]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#include-conformance-clause-principle [4]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#define-scope-principle [5]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#implement-principle [6]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#ref-norm-principle [7]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#define-terms-principle [8]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#conf-label-principle [9]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#consistent-style-principle [10]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#req-opt-conf-principle [11]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#subdivide-mandatory-principle [12]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#subdiv-constraints-principle [13]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#likehood-extension-principle [14]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#deprecated-feature-principle [15]: http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#degree-support-principle
