I’m delighted to hear that WCAG 2 made it to the front burner and has reached W3C Recommendation status……thank goodness !

Surely whole point in web standards is that the document can render in the largest number of situations – and that it is browser, platform and disabled abstract. By not enforcing standards, we firstly are promoting sloppy coding, and then making a hypocrisy of what the WaSP stands for!

Beside this, it’s good to see that momentum is starting to build in the W3C, and I’ve been working with the new guidelines for about three months, and I much prefer them to WCAG1.

I’ll hope all browser interpret the code in the same way. It is still hard to code a website, that works with every browser, isnt it?!

“WCAG is there to aid accessibility, not validation.”
Amen.

It’s great to hear that it’s official now, since so many big websites have completely ignored validation (and placed browser-testing, and other things in it’s place) already.

Mr. May, what would you say some of the biggest advantages of validation are now? That is, if the website has been, say, already tested in multiple browsers. I still like being valid, but I’m curious. : )

I’ve designing a web page since 1998, but never could make it good enough to put it on the web.
Recently I have been reading a fascinating book: Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong!
I was amazed how elegant and concise XTHML and CSS could be.
As a scientist I can’t quite grasp why web designers have put up with ill posed web browsers.

So I would suggest to all concerned with the web: “stop arguing; start building” &
“be thankful that some of us have set a standard that we all can use!”

[...] WCAG 2.0 becomes a W3C Recommendation. At last web accessibility takes a big step forward from version 1.0. [...]
