Hi Jamie and Lion! Good to know your questions. We’ll answer such questions in the Intro to WCAG 3 -- shortlink:
w3.org/WAI/wcag3
See some answers already under “Timeline”:
w3.org/WAI/standards-guideli…
(More specific answers will develop in time.)
Hope that helps! ~Shawn
In will be a few years until WCAG 3 is done.
After it’s more stable, WAI will provide material such as mapping between WCAG 2 and 3 requirements.
And, there is time for policy makers to update guidance.
See more info at w3.org/WAI/wcag3#timeline

I wish automatic captions without editing were that accurate! --especially with accents. I went through it and did find a mistake at 0:58. I've added to our list to fix.
For comments, better than Twitter is to e-mail issues to
wai@w3.org
Thanks! ~Shawna

I fixed “čeština” based on input from Kikisek. w3.org/WAI/translations/#cs
I’m getting additional input on русский язык
I’ll keep an eye out in case @yatil or others suggest changes to `text-transform: capitalize`
Thanks! ~Shawna

Correct, ISO/IEC 40500:2012 is WCAG 2.0.
WCAG 2.1 is adopted in EN 301 549 “Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services”.
ISO of WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 not planned any time soon.
WCAG 2.2 is still a few months away from being finalized at W3C. w3.org/WAI/standards-guideli…
