Yep, thought that would be odd for the W3C. Thanks for clarifying.

To be clear, there will never be WCAG techniques for Edge - there will be
HTML5 techniques. This work is underway, but is the work that will help
guide products like Edge to do the right things with regard to their
output.

Thanks,

No WCAG techniques anytime soon for Edge; the preview was just released.
It makes sense for the accessibility community to put this product through
the wringer and offer Adobe some useful feedback. Outputting only DIVs is
a problem for me. I have suggested on the discussion board to at least
offer headings as an option for HTML mark-up.
