"Until user agents..."

Hi Folks,

As many of you are no doubt aware, there are a
number of WCAG 1.0 checkpoints that being with: "Until user
agents..."

They are 7.1 (flickering), 7.2 (blinking), 7.3
(moving content), 7.4 (refresh), 7.5 (auto-redirect), 10.1 (spawned windows),
10.2 (explicit form associations), 10.5 (adjacent links), 1.5 (redundant
text links for client side image maps), 10.3 (side by side text), 10.4
(empty form controls).

It seems to be the consensus that 1.5, 10.3 and
10.4 no longer apply, since there is wide user agent support addressing these
concerns.

Are folks now starting to treat some of these other
"Until..." checkpoints with similar redundancy.

Best,
