Thanks to Kevin White on #id24 for clearly describing how WCAG 3 is organized, and why.

I'm convinced -- this is a much better approach, and worth the overhead.

I hope it will help Japanese a11y advocates to understand the outline and the intent of the working draft published on the 12 December 2024.
https://www.w3.org/TR/2024/WD-wcag-3.0-20241212/

I'm participating in the working group. I think it is essential to get feedback from different countries/regions to make WCAG 3 international guidelines.

"RESOLUTION: We will explore having a set of required provisions that is somewhat comparable to WCAG 2.2 A & AA and a set of provisions and assertions that can be used to build upon that through points, percentages, or predefined sets of provisions (modules)."
