Re: DPUB Set of Web Pages

Hi Mike

It might be worth it to loop the member of your team who felt it necessary
for the EU to diverge from the WCAG2ICT on those specific issues... we did
agree on the WCG2ICT that a "set of documents" would not be common in the
document world, but it did work when applied to documents, which
facilitated consensus on the WCAG2ICT for the entire adoption of WCAG to
Software and documents.

I often find in standards, as you may have experienced, that sometimes just
sitting down and talking together helps us unify and make stronger global
standards that are not splintered. I'd be keen to sit down with your
technician and see if we can come together.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
