For real.

It won’t be hugely different.

Maybe it will be ironed out. Or maybe <em>you’ll just have to live with it</em>. You’re acting like WCAG 1 and 2 don’t have a tone, or that the Working Group doesn’t.</li> <li>We know the PDF section is too obviously a cut-and-paste from the article at A List Apart. That was simply an error of copy-editing.</li> <li>No matter how much you ask and no matter who you are, we will not be writing new guidelines for cognitive disability. We concisely explained why not and we have an airtight case.</li> <li>We don’t care if you think that rare sites would do better with a single three-column layout than with CSS, or if you think that invalid CSS is a great idea sometimes, or that you are able cook up whatever other edge case. If you know that much, you don’t need the Samurai Errata and you could write your own.</li> <li>This is an errata document for typical Web developers and represents one group’s opinion. We have no obligation, <em>at all</em>, to represent your opinion.</li> <li>No, Joe did not do all the work.</li> </ul> <p> We appreciate many of the critiques. Why wouldn’t we? We ordered up two custom critiques ourselves. But some of the criticisms are nonsense, and we’d like you to knock it off. </p> WCAG Samurai 2007-06-26T13:49:00-00:00 2007-06-26T13:49:00-00:00 tag:wcagsamurai.org,2007:T2007.06.26-revisions The final version of WCAG Samurai will be published in the first or second week of July.
