To clarify one point: the WAI guidelines are not, and nor are they meant to be, instructional materials. Rather, they are proposed as a standard from which more educationally oriented documentation can be developed (as is presently being worked on by the Education and Outreach group). The guidelines themselves presuppose knowledge of HTML and style languages. They should be read by developers of large and/or complex web sites, and those who engage in web authoring on a routine basis. The casual author would probably find the reference card sufficient. More importantly, the guidelines are supposed to influence educational and training materials, and would probably be consulted as a reference in cases where individuals wish to clarify particular issues that have not addressed fully in the educative resources.
