Takeoff Performance Data

When calculating takeoff field length for a wet runway the most limiting factor is accelerate stop distance.

Wet runway performance charts should consider the reduced braking efficiency for the aborted takeoff.

A book I am reading states that all takeoff performance data are based on dry runways ONLY and therefore a correction to V1 should be made, to assure stopping ON the runway, for an aborted takeoff.

What is your knowledge on that subject?
