¿Cuánto falta para WCAG 3.0?

En WCAG 3.0: are we there yet? podemos leer:

On 7 December 2021, the W3C Accessible Guidelines Working Group published a Working Draft of the W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0.

So, that’s it, right? Pack WCAG 2 off to the junkyard? The standard is dead, long live the standard?

Well, no.

A Working Draft is published to invite feedback and goes through a lot of stages before it can be referred to as a standard. This particular draft has just six sample guidelines, where eventually there will be many, many more.

Given the amount of content yet to be added, the incorporation of feedback and revision, and giving people time to wrap their heads around some fundamental changes from WCAG 2 to WCAG 3, it’s going to be several years before WCAG 3.0 becomes a W3C Recommendation and web standard.

Remembering that WCAG 2.2 was originally slated for 2021 and by October 2022 had been pushed back to “early 2023”, WCAG 3.0 is unlikely to move out of draft status before 2025 at the very earliest, and quite probably a few years later than that.

Cambio de disminuido a discapacitado en la Constitución

Según se cuenta en Principio de acuerdo entre el Gobierno y el PP para eliminar el término “disminuidos” del artículo 49 de la Constitución, parece que por fin se va a cambiar la Constitución para que en vez de "disminuido" se use "discapacitado" en el artículo 49:

Los poderes públicos realizarán una política de previsión, tratamiento, rehabilitación e integración de los disminuidos físicos, sensoriales y psíquicos a los que prestarán la atención especializada que requieran y los ampararán especialmente para el disfrute de los derechos que este Título otorga a todos los ciudadanos.

¿Y los "disminuidos intelectuales"? ¿No existen para la Constitución?
