WCAG 2 is meant to be technology-agnostic so it can apply to *all* web 
content, even content types that are not available yet. You should look 
at the technology-specific techniques sections for HTML and CSS, and the 
gateway to techniques.

If you have something constructive to add, get involved and discuss 
possible solutions with the group. Such is the beauty of an open 
standards body.
