The equivalent list for CSS shows one post every 5 minutes. There is no way I can read all of that and still have time for anything else. If you've got some suggestions more practical than "brute force Technorati", I'd love to hear them, but smugly implying I can and should read every post about CSS isn't helping at all.

That's why they invented RSS, and *we have no trouble doing it*. WCAG WG doesn't *want* to be open. They consider themselves much too open as it is. If you want to know what they're doing, they expect you to phone in to their conference calls. Then again, they might hang up on you.
