Because I think it’s important that validity should remain in WCAG 2.0, I’ve written to the Working Group and asked for it to be retained as a level 2 success criterion. I’m happy with unambiguous parsing being a level 1 success criterion, but I’d include along the lines of "Create documents that validate to published […]
