[ID] 26 [Commenter] Richard Warren (in questionnaire) [Location] 3.4.2 Step 4.b: Use WCAG 2.0 Techniques Where Possible- Requirement 4.b [Status] Closed [Priority] High [Suggested Change] Requirement 4.b: "Where the correct use of appropriate WCAG 2.0 techniques can be identified they can be used to demonstrate successes in meeting the WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria." [Rationale] It is still not clear that if the evaluator can identify the correct use of WCAG techniques then these can be used by the evaluator as evidence of compliance. I suggest that the wording be changed. This means that the evaluator can confirm compliance if the appropriate technique has been correctly applied without having to do any other test. For example: if the label element has been applied to enclose both the field instruction and the input field then there is no need to check manually if the form progresses properly when using the keyboard or can work in forms mode with a screen reader. [Resolution] Resolution: Change to "Where possible, applicable WCAG 2.0 techniques shall be used to demonstrate successes and failures [...]" Rationale: "Common Failure" techniques can also be used to demonstrate *not* met Success Criteria [Current Text] 
Requirement 4.b: "Where possible, WCAG 2.0 techniques shall be used to demonstrate successes and failures in meeting the WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria relevant per 3.1.3 Step 1.c: Define the Conformance Target."
