or
NOT A TECHNICAL STANDARD

While offering broad value at the Principles and Guidelines level, the WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria do not provide much technical guidance that’s applicable directly to non-web ICT. In an informal (but not-inconsiderable) survey of implementers regarding WCAG 2.0 over the past year, I’ve found that:

- Even Web developers (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) often disagree over key provisions of WCAG 2.0.

- Non-web developers find WCAG 2.0 both vague and woefully underspecified with respect to technical guidance; SC 1.3.1 is particularly overloaded in this regard.
