Standards question

for

All,
I was noticing that WCAG 2.0 has removed the explicit requirement that pages work without script or other programmatic objects. But, Section 508 still contains a similar requirement. I was wondering how this group feels about this, as I have to write the requirements for two groups , one that I can specify the standard and levels we support (WCAG 2.0 priority A). The second has a government website that has to meet both WCAG and Section 508. I was hoping to be able to leave the JavaScript and other programmatic objects out of the standards.

Any thoughts or ideas on this?

Thanks for your advice in advance,
Mark
