Dear All,
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAG WG) invites
you to comment on an updated draft of the Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0), published on 17 May 2007. WCAG 2.0 addresses
accessibility of Web content for people with disabilities.
The updated WCAG 2.0 Public Working Draft incorporates changes in
Response to comments received on the 27 April 2006 WCAG 2.0 Last Call
Working Draft. Because there were a number of substantive changes, WCAG 2.0
has Returned to Public Working Draft status. We expect to advance WCAG 2.0
to a second Last Call Working Draft after this Public Working Draft.
W3C/WAI encourages you to review this document and submit comments on
Any issues which you feel could present a barrier to adoption and
implementation of WCAG 2.0. The Working Group seeks feedback on the
following points for this draft:
- Are the guidelines and success criteria clear? If not, can
You suggest clearer wording?
- Are there any success criteria that you feel are not
implementable or testable? If so, how could they be improved?
- Are there any success criteria that you feel would not
Improve accessibility as written, or that might hinder it? If so, how could
they be improved?
