Hello, The AU Guidlines 1.0 Recommendation [1] includes the following Note about conformance: <BLOCKQUOTE> Note: Authoring tools that conform to this document will propagate accessible Web content and be useful to anyone regardless of disability. There will also be authoring tools that produce accessible content in favorable circumstances (e.g., a text editor used by a motivated author), or provide an accessible interface to authors with certain disabilities, but that do not conform to these guidelines. </BLOCKQUOTE> As part of our efforts to clarify the intended user agent audience for these guidelines, I propose adding some similar text, such as: <BLOCKQUOTE> These guidelines are designed so that conforming user agents, when used in conjunction with assistive technology, are accessible to most users with disabilities. Some user agents may not conform to these guidelines but still be accessible to some users with disabilities. This document should help developers of all user agents improve the accessibility of their products. </BLOCKQUOTE> - Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/ATAG10/#Introduction -- Ian Jacobs (jacobs@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783
