Original Comment (Issue 1082 [1]): http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa/2005Feb/0005.html As a response to your comment, the QA Working Group has accepted your comment. The QA Working Group indicates that the WAI CG's interpretation as stated in the Original Comment is correct and that WCAG2.0 guidelines/success criteria can be extended, because the Guidelines are deliberately generic; thus they can be applied and adapted (extended) by different policy makers, and extensibility is appropriate. The QA Working Group suggests that WCAG2.0 documentation indicate that it is allowable to add additional guidelines/criteria to those already in WCAG2.0 for the previously-stated purpose, but that such additions should be in the style of existing WCAG2.0 success criteria/guidelines if possible. Furthermore, the QA Working Group suggests that the mechanism for such extensibility should be defined formally in the WCAG2.0 documentation. The QA Working Group believes that such extensibility considerations as mentioned previously are consistent with 2.4.3 Extensibility and Extensions in the revised SpecGL draft [2].
