RE: WCAG extension

Ø  A better word for "override" may be "cancel". So that one could read, "Extensions MUST NOT cancel WCAG 2.0 conformance requirements and success criterion."

I agree Laura – override doesn’t feel right because you can override something but still require the criteria.  For example, a function override in programming may extend the functionality without taking away any functionality.  So overrides are fine in our case as long as they invalidate any part of the criteria.

I like override, too. This seems like a great way to frame it.

I am not sure cancel is the right term. Override seems more appropriate to me.

A better word for "override" may be "cancel". So that one could read, "Extensions MUST NOT cancel WCAG 2.0 conformance requirements and success criterion."
