Hi Alastair,

Thank you for the explanation.  I understand the proposal now.

But I have serious reservation with the proposal.  The previous proposal wa=
s to test 50% of the WCAG 2.0 level A SC.  Now the proposal is to test 2 SC=
 for each level A, AA, and AAA.  I understand that the proposal streamlines=
 the exit criteria very significantly.  However, it also means that the imp=
lementability of ATAG 2.0 is not put to test.  We can merely test two of th=
e easiest SC at each level and call it done when in reality no authoring to=
ol that can fulfill some of the more difficult WCAG 2.0 SC even at level A.=
  I think we need to find examples of implementation for all the WCAG 2.0 l=
evel A SC to even start to consider our proposal implementable.  I am poten=
tially willing to consider more flexibility for level AA and AAA.  But we r=
eally should have a better story for at least level A.

Jeanne, you are right that WCAG 2.0 has already been tested for implementab=
ility.  But that was only for web pages not authoring tools.  If we are in =
a situation where we cannot find examples of authoring tools that can meet,=
 for example, WCAG 2.1.1 (keyboard), which is a level A SC, then it is actu=
ally evidence that ATAG 2.0 is not implementable because we can't find web-=
based authoring tools that are keyboard accessible.

Not that I want to rain on the parade, but I worry what we are proposing do=
es not stand up to scrutiny.  The blowback from issuing a W3C recommendatio=
n that is not implementable will be very embarrassing for W3C, not just thi=
s working group.  Please reconsider.

All best,
Alex

Hi Alex,

"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 f=
or two WCAG 2.0 success criteria at each level: A, AA, and AAA. These six W=
CAG 2.0 success criteria are a sampling of the requirements of WCAG (e.g. t=
ext alternatives for non-text content, keyboard accessibility, sufficient c=
ontrast)."

For the each of the WCAG referencing criteria, pick two WCAG SCs at A, AA, =
and AAA.

That makes 6 things to test for each of the 13 ATAG2 SCs (78), rather than =
793 (13 * 61) for testing all of WCAG 13 times.

Does that help?

Kind regards,

-Alastair

I have a clarifying question.  I think I understand everything until I read=
 the following.

"These six WCAG 2.0 success criteria are a sampling of the requirements of =
WCAG (e.g. text alternatives for non-text content, keyboard accessibility, =
sufficient contrast)."

Can somebody explain to me what the sentence is for?

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.

Thanks Tim and Alastair for responding already.

PROPOSAL:

Updated proposal to replace the current ATAG 2.0 Exit Criteria (http://www.=
w3.org/TR/ATAG20/#exit).

Notes:
- The wording borrows from HTML5 (http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/p=
ublic-permissive-exit-criteria.html)
- The section: "Success criteria referencing WCAG 2.0 for priorities" is ta=
ken from existing approved Exit Criteria.

----------------------
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.

*Independent authoring tools*
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.

*Implemented*
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* <THIS SECTION COPIED=
 FROM EXISTING APPROVED EXIT CRITERIA> For the thirteen ATAG 2.0 success cr=
iteria that are dependent on WCAG 2.0 [3] for their levels, each ATAG 2.0 s=
uccess criterion must be implemented for two WCAG 2.0 success criteria at e=
ach level: A, AA, and AAA. These six WCAG 2.0 success criteria are a sampli=
ng of the requirements of WCAG (e.g. text alternatives for non-text content=
, keyboard accessibility, sufficient contrast).
