> I've seen some talk recently that we no longer use "until user > agents". On what basis has it been decided that this is retired if > it has and if there are any that are left, which ones? You may be referring to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 working draft [1] which talks about meeting the guidelines to a government/company/designer baseline [2]. In the WCAG 1.0, the assumed baseline was HTML and some image formats, with the new guidelines, you can say that your baseline is HTML and JavaScript 1.2. If you take a look at the n the current version of WCAG 2.0 draft or the checklist [3] that there are many references to a baseline and no reference to "until user agents". But note that the WCAG 2.0 are still in a working draft mode and the 'until users agents' portion hasn't been retired...yet.
