I'm not 100% certain whether you are suggesting that WAI/WCAG are currently just concerned with HTML-based content or if they _should_ only be concerned with doing this. Accessible or not yet, there is more to the web than HTML. If someone develops "foo", a large portion of the computer world goes along with it despite accessibility issues, and HTML falls to the wayside, the WAI/WCAG needs to be there. </blockquote> I agree with Andrew. One of the key requirements for WCAG 2.0 is that the guidelines and success criteria be applicable across a broad range of technologies used to create Web content, including but certainly not limited to HTML.
