Perhaps I should have caveated that comment. Yes, if you're designing
websites for your own use or for your employer, then by all means implement
WCAG 2.0 now on the understanding that you may need to do some rework later.

If you're designing for external clients I don't think it's appropriate to
be working to guidelines that have not yet reached W3C Recommendation
status. I assume that the process of attaining Proposed Recommendation and
W3C Recommendation is not just a rubber stamp job and that there is
therefore the possibility of change. If there is no possibility of change,
what would be the purpose of those extra stages?
