I don't think WCAG got it wrong, I just think WCAG simply doesn't cover this case. I'm sure there are cases that HTML5 doesn't cover either. It's hard to cover all examples. Removing the exampels from HTML5 just because another spec doesn't have similar examples, however, makes no sense. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
