These 20 questions are based on the Level A Success Criteria in the November 3, 2008 Proposed Recommendation of WCAG 2.0. They do not directly map to the WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria and may generalize advice given in WCAG 2.0 . As such, the ultimate reference for WCAG 2.0 is the current version of WCAG 2.0, available at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/.
