It's not a standard, and it only applies in the US to federal agencies. It's meaningless outside of the US...the WAI guidelines are a far more universal set of general recommendations (again, not a standard, although some pieces of legislation in certain countries do mandate specific WAI WCAG levels of compliance, despite the fact that some of the guidelines are in serious need of an update). -- Patrick H.
