Recent WCAG WG recommendations for WCAG2.0 structure and baseline are as follows: (1) WCAG would not set any explicit baseline (2) WCAG would be written as functional outcomes (guidelines) and would become a definition of what accessibility is, but without specification? (3) The techniques documents would contain technical requirements (specification?), but are non-normative.(techniques can be used to meet guidelines, but are not the only way to meet guidelines). (4) Tests would test successful use of the techniques, not the guidelines Several questions re: the previous: (1) What QAWG-related concerns (if any) should I bring to the WCAG re: the previous four points (since I have been acting as "liaison" between the two WGs)? (2) Given our recent discussions on definition of "specification", would the techniques documents be considered "specifications" in the QAWG sense? What about the guidelines? Thanks and best wishes Tim Boland NIST
