While they are revising the standards for clarity, AJAX isn't "OK" as-is, unless it can be demonstrated that it meets the Functional Performance Criteria 1194.31. The issue that's being revisited is clarifying a "technical" standard. Right now, AJAX falls in a category requiring "equivalent facilitation" 36 CFR 1194.5, since this technical approach was not around during the first issuance of the requirements. As per 508, the measurement of 508 is "Functional Performance Criteria". This means, while the technical standards are not available, in order for you to use this technology, YOU HAVE TO FIGURE ACCESSIBILITY OUT... It MUST WORK for "blind, low-vision, deaf, hard-of-hearing, speechless(mute), and motor-skill disabilities OR support their assistive technologies.
