WCAG 1.0 refers to "applets" in several places, including: 6.3 Ensure that pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported. If this is not possible, provide equivalent information on an alternative accessible page. [Priority 1] 6.4 For scripts and applets, ensure that event handlers are input device-independent. [Priority 2] 6.5 Ensure that dynamic content is accessible or provide an alternative presentation or page. [Priority 2] 7.1 Until user agents allow users to control flickering, avoid causing the screen to flicker. [Priority 1] 7.2 Until user agents allow users to control blinking, avoid causing content to blink (i.e., change presentation at a regular rate, such as turning on and off). [Priority 2] 7.3 Until user agents allow users to freeze moving content, avoid movement in pages. [Priority 2] 8.1 Make programmatic elements such as scripts and applets directly accessible or compatible with assistive technologies [Priority 1 if functionality is important and not presented elsewhere, otherwise Priority 2.] 9.2 Ensure that any element that has its own interface can be operated in a device-independent manner. [Priority 2] 10.1 Until user agents allow users to turn off spawned windows, do not cause pop-ups or other windows to appear and do not change the current window without informing the user. [Priority 2] The techniques document contains a section titled "Directly accessible applets": http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#accessible-applets Hope this helps, m
