[Irl-dean] AAA Claim?

[brendan spillane]

Hi all,

I have a question?

One of our clients has a website which currently reaches AA of the
WCAG 1.0 Guidelines.

They would like to make their website AAA accessible and in the most
part there is no problem doing this, the single biggest cost being the
conversion of .PDF and .DOC to accessible xhtml.

They have agreed that there are many documents on the website which we
will convert and which would be a benefit to the public if they were
converted into accessible xhtml.

However there are old monthly newsletters typically 8 to 12 pages in
length going back several years which both of us believe the cost of
converting to xhtml to be far too much on a cost v benefit ratio. They
would still like to have these on the website as they are a benefit to
the public instead of hiding them away on an intranet so they can
fully comply with the guidelines without breaking the bank.

What I would like to ask the list is does anyone feel it is acceptable
to have and claim AAA accessibility for the rest of the website but to
have an archive page which is only AA accessible containing these
documents?

All of the newsletters which would be created in the future would be
converted into accessible xhtml

Best,

Brendan
