Hi all,

Thought I would be able to find the answer to this with a simple Google, but
can't. I have been asked to build a site that validates to 508, as well as
WAI guidelines. I'm aware of the WAI stuff, but can't find what the
differences between the two are.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good reference comparing the two?

Cheers
Paul
