This is the second time the document process has reached the Last Call Working Draft stage. The new deadline for comments is February 2008 and will deal with the following points:
- Are the guidelines and Success Criteria clear?
- Are the Success Criteria implementable and testable?
- Does meeting the Success Criteria improve accessibility?
The successful completion of this step will result in the document process reaching the Candidate Recommendation stage.

An insight to the development of WCAG 2.0 is provided by Judy Brewer (Director of the Web Accessibility Initiative) during a recent interview.
For developers, some positive observations include the reduction of constraints faced whilst creating accessible content. The provision of support materials will also be welcomed.
For people with disabilities, access to a broader range of web technologies is promised.
Interview extracts are available from the webstandards.org website.
