WCAG 3.0 is an active W3C Working Draft in development by the AGWG. Requirements, assertions, the conformance model and reporting tiers are still being developed and may change. The latest published draft is the 10 September 2026 Working Draft; this site follows the editors’ draft, which also includes exploratory provisions.
An organisational assertion: the organisation states that an expert review looked for misleading wording, artificial pressure, misdirection and other deceptive practices, and that what was found was removed.
Why It Matters
Expert review catches patterns that individual users experience as their own mistake rather than as a design decision.
