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.

Summary of work required to make content that meets MWBP also meet WCAG 1.0

This section provides guidance on the “upgrade path” from MWBP 1.0 to accessibility through WCAG 1.0 compliance. For each of the WCAG 1.0 priorities there are three possible levels of effort required, labelled for simplicity with keywords (nothing, something, everything):

${define_efforts}

To summarise, if your content already complies with MWBP, to achieve compliance with WCAG 1.0, you need to do the following:

Nothing: content already complies with these checkpoints:

Something: more effort of some kind or a check, to comply with these checkpoints:

Everything: start from scratch to comply with these checkpoints:
