2. Paragraphs (l), (m), (n), (o), and (p) of this section are different from
WCAG 1.0. Web pages that conform to WCAG 1.0, level A (i.e., all priority 1 checkpoints)
must also meet paragraphs (l), (m), (n), (o), and (p) of this section to comply
with this section. WCAG 1.0 is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505.
