I echo with the point Alex Li brought up, that is to seperate these two
sections to support the idea of harmonization. I would recommend to use
ISO for 1194.21 and WCAG 2.0 for 1194.22.

Subject: [teitac-websoftware] 508 and ISO on software-web

In order to compare the current 1194.21 and 1194.22 with the ISO
standard,
it would help to have a side-by-side comparison: for each provision (of
both
508 and ISO):

its closest correspondent in the other standard
important differences between them
reasons why one is "better" than the other (a dialog)
etc.

Is there such a document now, or any precursors? I realize this is a
lot of
work, but I imagine it would be useful, and not only to us.
