RE: Proposal for updated ATAG 2.0 Exit Criteria

Just a reminder to all AUWG members:  Please help ATAG 2.0 to move through =
CR by sending a message signalling whether or not you agree with the Exit C=
riteria proposal below.=0A=

Thanks Tim and Alastair for responding already.=0A=

PROPOSAL:=0A=
=0A=
Updated proposal to replace the current ATAG 2.0 Exit Criteria (http://www.=
w3.org/TR/ATAG20/#exit).=0A=
=0A=
Notes:=0A=
- The wording borrows from HTML5 (http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/p=
ublic-permissive-exit-criteria.html)=0A=
- The section: "Success criteria referencing WCAG 2.0 for priorities" is ta=
ken from existing approved Exit Criteria.=0A=
=0A=
----------------------=0A=
For this specification to be advanced to Proposed Recommendation, there mus=
t be at least two independent implementations of features that meet each su=
ccess criterion. Each of these features may be implemented by a different s=
et of products and there is no requirement that all features be implemented=
 by a single product.=0A=
=0A=
*Independent authoring tools*=0A=
are tools by different developers that do not share (or derive from) the sa=
me source code for the relevant feature(s). Sections of code that have no b=
earing on the implementation of this standard are exempt from this requirem=
ent. The authoring tools must be a shipping product or other publicly avail=
able version. Experimental implementations, specifically designed to pass t=
he test suite and not intended for normal usage, are not permitted.=0A=
=0A=
*Implemented*=0A=
refers to situations in which a success criterion is applicable to a given =
authoring tool and the authoring tool meets the success criterion. This is =
in contrast to situations in which a success criterion is not applicable.=

*Success criteria referencing WCAG 2.0 for priorities*=0A=
<THIS SECTION COPIED FROM EXISTING APPROVED EXIT CRITERIA>=0A=
For the thirteen ATAG 2.0 success criteria that are dependent on WCAG 2.0 [=
3] for their levels, each ATAG 2.0 success criterion must be implemented fo=
r two WCAG 2.0 success criteria at each level: A, AA, and AAA. These six WC=
AG 2.0 success criteria are a sampling of the requirements of WCAG (e.g. te=
xt alternatives for non-text content, keyboard accessibility, sufficient co=
ntrast).=0A=
