Techniques are all non-normative. Thus, it's a matter for the content author to decide which techniques to consult when writing or revising Web pages that conform to WCAG.

Of course, it's in their interests to review the most recent techniques document available, but they can still conform without consulting any techniques documents at all. If they consult an old document, apply its techniques, and thereby conform to WCAG, they're still conforming.
