15:57:19 primary use case: how to fulfill the guidelines 15:57:41 get that from table of contents in html? 15:57:55 depends on how it is written. techniques for wcag 1.0, techniques were in different places. 15:58:02 and, no index 15:58:40 should absolutely look at different use cases. however, don't have a different traffic cop for each use case, but can we create one primary interface that will work for multiple use cases? 15:58:50 need "search" to do that? 16:01:57 have the one page approach, but also an index at end of each page? a set of see alsos? cross-references? list of questions related to tasks to help create big picture? 16:02:39 since wcag 2.0 is not html-centric, harder to construct the "how to make forms accessible." 16:04:07 gateway as index into techniques. i.e., techniques are grouped by task/element 16:05:09 perhaps atomic techniques and then an overall technique to tie them together?
