I would like to see a clear definition of "Harmonization" is there such
a definition?



I agree with Michael...I believe that we will need to define what is
meant by harmonization or at least for this subcommittee.

It is clear that web applications are getting more prevalent. But that
does not necessarily mean we have to merge 1194.21 and 1194.22. Note
that the WCAG 2.0 draft accommodates both web applications and "simple
websites". It would make sense, for the interest of efficiency and
harmonization, to update 1194.22 to handle both web applications and
websites. It is obvious that there will be a lot of parallel between
1194.21 and 1194.22 after we are done. All I'm trying to say
is--attempting such consolidation would be a lot of work and create
harmonization problem.

I would like to see a clear definition of "Harmonization" is there such
a definition?
