Subject: Abstract update - new content terms

 

Hi everyone,

 

We spoke about an update to the Abstract of WCAG 2.1 on Tuesday, and the wording used to balance between “WCAG 2.0 is still totally valid” and “Please use the updated version”.

 

A couple of people mentioned they were concerned about the “new & updated bit” here:

“The publication of WCAG 2.1 does not deprecate or supersede WCAG 2.0. While WCAG 2.0 remains a W3C Recommendation, the W3C recommends that new and updated content use WCAG 2.1 to maximize future applicability of accessibility efforts. The W3C also advises that new or updated Web accessibility policies reference WCAG 2.1.”

 

Can we simplify that by just removing the new & updated bit?

“The publication of WCAG 2.1 does not deprecate or supersede WCAG 2.0. While WCAG 2.0 remains a W3C Recommendation, the W3C advises the use of WCAG 2.1 to maximize future applicability of accessibility efforts. The W3C also advises that new or updated Web accessibility policies reference WCAG 2.1.”

 

You can see the proposed updates (apart from the above) in context in the diff view here:
