Proposal: Technical and usable accessibility differentiation, accessibility heuristics

What do you think about an extra section in the WAI documentation (I don't
think it's WCAG/UAAG/ATAG specific) where we a) exemplify the
characteristics of 'technical accessibility' and 'usable accessibility', and
b) offer some accessibility heuristics?
I remember IBM which uses this differentiation and nine heuristics ([1,2]
being good examples of what I suggest) to illustrate Web accessibility
issues as well as its range, and I thought it might be a quite good
supplement to our very special approach. (Finally, it would emphasize the
relatedness to usability issues since this has often been critized, er...)
I'm sorry if I overlooked a similar suggestion in our documents -- I found
one occurrence of the terms 'technical accessibility' and 'usable
accessibility' (in the EOWG minutes [3]), but I don't know yet.
All the best,
 Jens.
