Overview

WAI is finalizing a WAI-wide approach to "supplemental guidance"/best practice guidance that integrates information for low vision, cognitive, mobile, and others.

Different documents have different audiences and approaches:

• User Needs/Accessibility Requirements for People with Low Vision is from the perspective of the user needs. Its primary goal is to inform standards.
• WCAG has strict parameters that impact the content and wording. Its goal is to provide a broadly-applicable, testable standard.
• Supplemental guidance takes a different approach. Its primary goal is easy-to-use guidance for designing and developing digital content. It is not required to meet WCAG, and does not have the same limitations as WCAG.
  • OPEN ISSUE: scope to include user agents?
