Introduction

Incomplete draft: This document is an editor's copy that has no official standing and is incomplete. Particularly, the section WCAG 2.0 and MWBP Together is only an outline; WCAG 1.0 to MWBP is only partly filled out. It is subject to major changes and is therefore not intended for implementation. It is provided for review and feedback only. Please send feedback to public-bpwg-comments@w3.org (archive).

This page is part of a suite of related documents. Please refer to the “How to Use These Documents” section for more information.

As described in this document, the two recommendations are complementary. the motivation for adopting them may be different (for example, commercial, regulatory, altruistic). It has been described elsewhere that retrofitting existing websites for compliance with another set of non-functional requirements is much more costly than complying during the design and development phases. the cost of late implementation (content repair, staff training, redesigning workflow) separately may also be much greater than doing both together, due to the synergies between them.

When a WCAG SC is more comprehensive or demanding than a BP and overlaps it completely, only include the SC in the list, and vice versa.

When starting a new Web project...

Meet this subset of WCAG success criteria

and...

Meet this subset of the MWBPs

Not included above (and remove from this section of document once it is complete):

This is what projects doing both do not need to worry about if they do the preceding two sets.
