Can someone point me to where in WCAG 2.0 definition or application that
products which do not run in or on a browser are covered? I'm not
seeing it. Also, where are success techniques for such things as
including name, role, and state for non-browser-based application
interface elements?
Thanks in advance for enlightening me.

What kind of "products" do you mean? Things like AIR applications? W3C
Widgets? Or actual native applications? The scope of WCAG 2.0 is, as the
name suggests, "Web Content". If you're looking for guidance on how to
make something like a native app, written in C++ or whatever,
accessible, then WCAG 2.0 is not the right place. If that's the case,
I'd have a look at these (not read them myself, mind):
ISO 16071 (which I believe will be incorporated into ISO 9241):
Ergonomics of human-system interaction – Guidance on accessibility for
human–computer interfaces
ISO 13407: Human-centred Design Processes for Interactive Systems

It's covered in Section 508 (http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/guide/index.htm), not WCAG. WCAG is for web sites/apps only.

Hi Allen,
I may have misunderstood your enquiry, but SC 4.1.2 of WCAG 2.0 has a
section on creating your own UI components.

All the best,

Thanks.
I have seen this, but these seem to be UI components within the browser
environment.
