The second version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidlines are in the “final draft” stage and Joe Clark has an opinion about them. Here’s his central point:
“WCAG 2 backtracks on basics of responsible web development that are well accepted by standardistas. WCAG 2 is not enough of an improvement and was not worth the wait.”
Considering that about a year ago I was actively persuing writing a book based on WCAG 2, I’m suddenly glad that the whole idea fell apart.
Thanks SuzyQ
