It provides informative guidance (guidance that is not normative and does not set requirements).">

<p>WCAG 2 defines <strong>user agent</strong> as:</p>
<blockquote>

any software that retrieves and presents Web content for users

For non-web ICT, “user agent” needs to be viewed differently. In WCAG 2, the term “user agent” only refers to retrieval and display of web content. For non-web ICT, the term “user agent” refers to retrieval and display of separate content that is <em>not on the Web</em>, which WCAG2ICT refers to as a “document”. Within WCAG2ICT, the term “user agent” is used as follows:<p></p>
