Thanks for that suggestion Andy. I must say after Googleing Joe Clark,
I came across his article on WCAG 2.0 and found it interesting. After
reading parts of the final draft I actually did not think it was that
bad but after reading what J C said / wrote on the topic I is not
convinced that the new guidelines will be any good. Actually I thought
the 1.0 guidelines were bad enough about not being understand, but
these new ones will just not help anyone (from what I have read). How
the hell would a law enforcement agency decide on what all those long
worded statements on multimedia meant, (especially with cases
concerning where some thing are allowed or not).
In fact it could be said that these new guidelines are a step
backwards as they do not recommend the separation of presentation and
content.
