This document provides information on publishers who are able to produce EPUB publications that conform to the EPUB Accessibility 1.1 specification at WCAG 2.0 Level AA. It corresponds to the specification's category 1 exit criteria.
The EPUB Working Group intends to exit the Candidate Recommendation stage and submit the EPUB Accessibility 1.1 specification for consideration as a W3C Proposed Recommendation after documenting that publishers can meet the requirements at WCAG 2.0 Level AA.
For this specification to advance to Proposed Recommendation, it has to be proven that at least 5 publishers will produce at least 1 EPUB publication each that conform to EPUB Accessibility 1.1 - WCAG 2.0 Level AA.
Publishers are not expected to be producing content that claims conformance to the specification prior to it becoming a recommendation, only that they have verified that the content they produce now can meet the requirements by verifying at least one publication.
Publishers currently meeting EPUB Accessibility 1.0 at WCAG 2.0 Level AA already meet the requirements to claim conformance to the new specification, as the new revision does not introduce stricter content requirements.
