Situation A: In this situation clarify whether scripts are part of baseline or not; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMC] [HOLD] baseline is not part of the success criteria but is used in making conformance claims. The HTM documents address different technologies which can be used meet a specific success criterion. discussed at team c meeting - decided to mark with baseline catergory and leave on hold Discussed in the 19 April 2007 telecon: unanimous adopted 1088 as ammended http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2007/04/19-wai-wcag-minutes.html Survey comments at. http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/20070412-teamc/results#x1088 {partial accept} DONE change boilerplate on sufficient techniques sections to read: Each numbered item in this section represents a technique or combination of techniques that the WCAG Working Group deems sufficient for meeting this criterion. The techniques listed only satisfy the success criterion if all of the WCAG 2.0 conformance requirements have been met. Internal WD updated 20 April 2007. Response: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007Jul/0095.html; Resolution: Baseline has been changed to "Accessibility-supported Web technologies". This is used when making a conformance claim and is not part of each individual success criterion. The How to Meet documents for each success criterion provide techniques using different technologies which may be used to meet the criterion. The techniques selected to satisfy the success criterion are sufficient as long as they only rely on features of technologies that are accessibility-supported WCAG 2.0 provides a set of rules for evaluating whether a technology is accessibility supported, but does not specify whether particular technologies are or are not accessibility supported. The reason for this is that accessibility support for various technologies is in a constant state of change as new technologies are introduced and support improves for existing technologies. Whether Script is accessibility supported for a particular project would be determined by a variety of factors described in the section " Accessibility Support of Web Technologies" at http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/#accessibility-support .; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
