As a major step in the W3C guideline development process, WCAG 2.0 has today been advanced to Candidate Recommendation status. This means that the WCAG working group believes the guidelines to be in a stable and usable form that can be used by developers and that, even though feedback is still welcome, the guidelines are near completion.
Great news! That’s a huge step, finally!
Its all well and good, but I see it all the time, develpers just don’t care until its the last step. This is in part due to upper management not providing the bandwidth and in other cases just not caring.
