Proposed part of definition of technology agnostic

    Editor's note

    To be defined.

Consider noting that the definition intends to be agnostic to specific technology methodologies that are not specifically focused on web standards. Technologies will be cited and given as examples in some supporting documentation, just that the intent is not to endorse some particular methodology which may be contentious or not quite as universal as expected. In essence, technologies are choices available, not endorsing a particular brand of ideas?

Consider someone reading this definition and then visiting supporting docs and seeing references to specific technologies. These might seem like conflicting advice to mention PDF, etc. ? But it makes more sense if the focus is being agnostic to methodologies that have a philosophy tied with them perhaps.

Over at the Sustainable Web Interest Group we opted to make a change like this to a guideline for a possible example:

w3c/sustainableweb-wsg#51

Thank you for the great work everyone is doing on WCAG3

Technology Agnostic
does not favor or depend on any one specific technology, vendor, or platform

I like this. Good length for a start particularly- Ejusdem generis ("of the same kinds, class, or nature") in statutory interpretation is an idea which came to mind, which would kind of strongly imply especially by the words vendor and platform that this is focused on not favoring anything proprietary, but it could include an open source technology too if it was clearly a singular technology that we still don't want to depend on.

The only thing I could think of to ask was whether there many instances where there is only a singular technology for something. We would still not need to depend or favor it, I think and still be very consistent
