What is the relation of UAAG 1.0 to platform-specific guidelines?

UAAG 1.0 encourages software developers to follow the accessibility conventions of each operating environment (e.g., when designing the software user interface, keyboard shortcuts, and documentation). Following these conventions increases consistency for users and for developers of assistive technologies. Operating environment guidelines also include information about accessibility features (e.g., system-wide settings for color preferences) that user agent developers can re-use rather than re-implement. In some cases, UAAG 1.0 may overlap in scope with operating environment accessibility guidelines. However, UAAG 1.0 is not specific to any particular platform.
