Of course, that's effectively a local biritsh The way I read it was that they don't think they are appropriate because there is a reasonableness test. Generally businesses don't mind complying with accessibility legislation as long as: - all their competitors incur the same compliance cost; - it is easy to work out exactly what to do to comply at the absolute minimum cost. Having UK law reference WCAG would go part way there, but you still have the Bobby problem. The businesses almost certainly want mechanically verifiable rules, with no judgement calls.
