Unfortunately, the selection form requires (or presupposes) a firmer grasp of the baseline concept than many of us have yet been able to achieve. The resulting view if a technology is used but in or not it the baseline is not as clear as we think it ought to be.

Proposed Change:

If feasible, it would be nice if any set of selections also generated a corresponding example of a conformance statement (metadata ready) and a verbal example of what that baseline means and how to interpret it (similar to the examples in "About Baselines and WCAG 2.0").; Related issues: baseline_replaced
(space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMA] Discussed in the 19 April 2007 telecon: accepted by unanimous consent http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2007/04/19-wai-wcag-minutes.html {not accept}; Resolution: We agree but this is beyond what the Quick Reference was designed for or is capable of. We have examples in the Understanding document but do not see a way of doing this within Quick Reference. The conformance section of WCAG2 has been completely rewritten. The term "baseline" has been replaced by "accessibility-supported Web technologies". The issue of what it means to be an accessibility-supported Web technology is addressed 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)
