Hello,
I've gone through the WCAG checklist and tried to figure
out which ones are/are not/should be/should not be addressed
in the UAGL. The results are at [1]. It's pretty sketchy, so
all comments are welcome. There are a couple of proposals
embedded in it:
PROPOSALS:
1) Add a checkpoint that says that UAs should allow users to
turn off flicker. This is not the same as blinking (already
covered by 4.4.6 and 4.4.7
2) Modify Guideline 7.1 to include these checkpoints:
a) Implement W3C specifications when they are
available and appropriate for a task and
implement the latest versions when supported.
Note. Some W3C specifications are
cumulative (e.g., HTML 4.0, CSS, DOM).
b) Implement accessibility features defined by supoprted
W3C Recommendations. [The techniques would provide
links to documents where these are defined.]
c) Support deprecated features of W3C Recommendations.
3) Allow users to configure UA support for preferred
language/list of languages. [Techniques: HTTP Content-Language
and "lang" in HTML, "xml:lang" in HTML for document root]
