Line 394:

:This has always been a delicate matter on Wikipedia. I met the expert in question in real life, and went to several of his conferences (where I met fellow accessibility experts). I won't tell his real identity because he doesn't want to, but I can assure you he is reliable for sure. Unfortunately, Web accessibility is a job where you need experts to intervene in the process: someone cannot possibly jump in, read a handful of pages and claim he knows. It takes months of training to become a real expert. Sure, the basics are quite straightforward and simple, a passionated developer can learn them in a handful of days. But the approach to follow in Wikipedia's case is particular because of its very nature, therefore not always documented in online resources.

:As promised I just sent an e-mail to the expert, to have further explanations on the matter. Yours, [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] ([[User talk:Dodoïste|talk]]) 00:57, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

::I'll detail it further this evening. But it turns out, [http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/H63.html WCAG 2.0 TECHS, H63] is mistaken on this particular detail. It's the second time I've seen somethingsuch similara mistake. I'll report the mistake to the corresponding working group of the WCAG like I did last time, and start a discussion at their mailing list.
