Re: American Standards

The actual U.S. 508 Law/regulation/standard is kept on the Access-Board
site at http://www.access-board.gov/508.htm, which includes the Law, the
purchasing regulation, the standard, and technical assistance (guide to the
standards). I tell others that the law and regulation are "policy" which
does not relate to WAI documents, while the technical standard relates to
WCAG 1.0 and the assistance (Guide to the standard) relates to the WCAG
techniques.

See also the W3C WAI policy page at http://www.w3.org/WAI/Policy/#508
