Good news, and considering that the WAI seems to be lowering the bar, not a moment too soon.
Timely yes, and it needs doing but I am sorry to say I am getting very sceptical about a few details…
This might be even counterproductive since we need to overcome current delay in the WCAG WG, and not half a dozen accessibility guerrillas driving the community crazy. And please, do not mix up ultra-important accessibility sensitization with pseudo standards body creation…! (No, just do not!)
