Subject: Text links 2.4.4 with PDF's

I understand that the word (PDF format) in the text link is required.

Geez - I guess no one believes me, but the indication that it is a PDF document that is being linked to is _not required_ by WCAG 2.0.  You may still want to do it, but this is not mandated by WCAG 2.0 or Section 508.

Gregg, do you agree with this?
Thanks,
AWK
