Just wondering: the spirit of WCAG2 is that it's tech agnostic, and none 
of the techniques for, say, HTML are actually normative. Is RGAA 2 
actually grabbing a subset of the techniques and making them normative? 
Wouldn't this risk making it obsolete very quickly, not adaptable to new 
better techniques/technologies, etc...just like it happened with WCAG 1?
