Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group News

A few months ago, the Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group and the WAI Education and Outreach Working Group published a First Public Working Draft of a document that explored the overlaps and differences between the Mobile Web Best Practices (MWBP) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

A new draft was published a few days ago: Relationship Between Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

The document was re-engineered and simplified with a view to making it easier to read and apply. In particular, the sections that explained why following a given Mobile Web Best Practice may help users with disabilities were removed for the sake of simplicity. Could the document be further improved?

The pages that detail how to address one specification when you've already done the other were completed. The page WCAG 2.0 and MWBP Together is still mostly empty, though. The thing is it is hard to present a simple mechanism that would make it easy to follow both specifications at once. The current proposal is:

1. Decide on the WCAG level required for the project, and follow the WCAG 2.0 specification
2. Using the page From WCAG 2.0 to MWBP, identify and follow the MWBP that still need to be addressed

Whilst it appears to be rejecting the question, it may well be the easiest answer. Could you think of any better idea?
