The draft is up and ready for public comment before it is finalized. Target date suggested is next year. Many of these items are extensions of standards already in place, and there are some that are included as a result of projections as to what will be available in terms of hardware and software in the future. W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Draft
Like everything related to the web the standards are constantly changing. Now there's a great little tool to check your pages with: Welcome to Bobby WorldWide.
ARGHH! This page is barely 508 compliant and not close to what it should be for Web Accessibility! Well, nothing for it... I'll have to fix it all.
My clients will rarely pay for this level of work; when possible I've gone ahead and done it anyway. It's amazing to me that corporate entities trying to lure web users turns a blind eye to a large segment of the target market.
What's more amazing is that if I do it for free, they brag it up and run big ad campaigns touting their sites. With not a thank you. I even had one client that the @$^#% chair actually thought it was a waste of time!!! But he was a neanderthal.
Oh lord, I better not get started on that jackass.
The people I have great respect for work so hard to be CSS compliant, cross-browser compliant and meet W3C standards. And to force me to actually run validators. [Ahem, I think you know who you are.] It's time I put a bug in "someone's" ear about this and start running THIS validation script. evil grin.
