To be absolutely clear on where I'm coming from: IF a site, when viewed on a mobile/tablet/small screen viewport is inaccessible, and it does NOT provide a mechanism for the user to reach (on that same device/viewport) the accessible "desktop" version, then it fails under WCAG 2.0 (for all the bits where it's inaccessible), and can't claim to be an "alternate version" as, per point 4 of the definition, it's not allowing the user to reach the desktop version. This is why I don't think specifically calling out "the mobile version/view needs to be accessible" is needed, and it feels wrong/weird to single it out. P -- Patrick H.
