It's basically a tightly defined subset of possible techniques (as there may exist a theoretical infinite number of techniques, as long as they pass the SC) that you require authors to adhere to? I can understand the benefit of this for large-scale conformance testing, but you're really then just testing conformance to RGAA, not to WCAG 2.0 (as there are certainly other techniques, not mandated in RGAA's test appendix of the WCAG 2.0 techniques document, which nonetheless pass the SC). Sorry, not being difficult here, just making sure I understand the purpose of RGAA (and to clarify that WCAG 2.0's original intent is not to make any statements as to required or not required attributes...only the SCs matter, and the techniques are merely informative).
