I tend to follow a hierarchy of needs.
At the most basic level, the text needs to be correctly rendered.
This implies that a web site may be dependant on specific versions of
operating systems or browsers. This is the reality of text layout/font
rendering systems.
In theory supporting older browsers is good, but if the text will never
be displayed or rendered in older browsers, the exercise in supporting
older browsers becomes pointless and meaningless.

I went through WCAG 1 and WCAG 2, and I expected an appropriate

show up under Priority 1 (or Level A), but nothing. Or am I missing
something in the obscure wording of the document that is WCAG?
A user's choice of technology is not an accessibility issue. If people
want to view content on the web, they have to make sure they are using
suitable hardware and software - using a 10-year-old browser doesn't
qualify, IMO. Should I be able to view a site on my Commodore 64?
