Re: Add a 'Date reviewed' field to techniques and failures

I was thinking more of Failures than techniques.

And what is a guaranteed failure today - may not be failure in the future with better AT - or may only be a failure funder specified conditions. 

So the review date is just to make it easier to periodically review all failures to see if the failure needs to be modified, qualified or removed over time.

If a technique, when properly implemented, satisfies a success criterion in WCAG 2.0, then unless a flaw is found in it, this remains true in perpetuity. "Once conformant, always conformant", as one might say. So, even if it were published six years ago, unless there's a problem with it, it's still valid and and will always be so.
