Exactly my point. However, becuse the W3C's WAI Guidelines have been
"imported" lock, stock and barrel into a larger set of "Standards"
(Governement of Canada - Common Look and Feel), he is using the actual
wording to "wiggle" out of the spirit of the document. I disagree with
this, or course, which is why I am asking/urging that the wording of WCAG
2.0 be very carefully constructed. While the W3C cannot make these
guidelines "standards", other organizations can and will. I believe that
most countries in the EU are also looking at making the WAI Guidelines
government "standards" (Euro-listers? Any news?)
