JRG2: If a technique needs work at this point in the development of the techniques document I think it should be given to interested working group members as an action item for them to develop. When the validity of the technique for accessibility is clearer to the working group it can then be added to the techniques document. Until that time I think putting in questionable techniques will cause unnecessary problems during the review process. This would be the only technique I am aware of as marked as "needs work" if included.
