Mobile native app independent a11y standards

All,

As the documentation outlines on the WCAG site states the standards are technology agnostic. The mobile vendors and other folks who create native apps do not necessarily agree with that statement. EG Apple state use our native SDKs, design documentation  and the WCAG is for web. Android Google has similar comments. When you review the techniques and failures, they  specifically are web focus with PDF support. I have excluded Silver Light and Flash or similar old technology. This re-enforces this concept. There isn't currently any other standard which is mobile native other then one of the old ISO Human Ergonomic standards which was last updated in 2010 and isn't really mobile focus at all. It is more generic in nature.

Is the GA (silver) project going to address this issue for Native built apps? I am being very specific here. I am not talking about apps that are using any web form of technology. I am only talking about apps that are using native code for a specific mobile platform.

Regards
Sean
