I tend to agree with where John is going with this. HTML is a W3C technology. PDF and SWF are not. WCAG says to use W3C technologies, so why shouldn't WCAG deal with W3C technologies? Just let the outside vendors deal with making their technologies accessible and leave it alone. > To make them accessible, we need to apply many of > the same principles.

The group should be focusing on ensuring that W3C technolgies are accessible, are used correctly and that WCAG supports those technolgies. ---------- Randal Rust Covansys Corp. Columbus, OH
