Editor's Draft

== Abstract ==
This document, “Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other
W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply to Mobile” describes how the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 [WCAG20] and
its principles, guidelines, and success criteria can be applied
to mobile web content, mobile web apps, native apps, and hybrid
apps using web components inside native apps. It provides
informative guidance, but does not set requirements. It also
highlights the relevance of the User Agent Accessibility
Guidelines 2.0 [UAAG20] in the mobile context.
This document is intended to become a Working Group Note and is
part of a series of technical and educational documents
published by the [20]W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Feedback on this draft is essential to the success of this
guidance. The Mobile Accessibility Task Force asks in
particular:
1. Is this document helpful in understanding the applicability
of WCAG 2.0 and UAAG 2.0 to the mobile environment?
2. Is the format of this information helpful for designers,
developers and testers of content that can be viewed with
mobile devices and in mobile apps? Is it useful for
policymakers?
3. In Appendix A, is listing relevant existing WCAG 2.0
techniques helpful for mobile content and mobile app
developers?
4. Are there additional accessibility needs in the mobile
environment related to the WCAG principles that we should
address?
5. Have we sufficiently explained why keyboard interface and
modality independent controls are needed in the mobile
environment?
