AAA conformance - It is not clear how one achieves AAA conformance. In the
WCAG 2.0 document (under the 'Conformance' heading) there is a note "Because
not all level 3 success criteria can be used with all types of content,
Triple-A conformance only requires conformance to a portion of level 3
success criteria".  Does this mean a site can claim Triple-A conformance if
they comply with all Level A and Level AA SC and one Triple-A SC? This
statement is in contradiction with information in the "Baseline" document
which states (under the 'Vertical and Horizontal scoping in conformance
statements' - first
question) "Any web content for which Level AAA conformance is claimed must
meet all Level 1 and Level 2 success criteria plus at least 50% of
applicable Level 3 success criteria".

Proposed Change:

Firstly, there must be consistency between the two documents and how to
claim AAA conformance must be clearly detailed. I do not understand why AAA
is being treated differently to A and AA. I believe AAA compliance should
mean compliance with all AAA SC, not just ones the developer chooses to
implement.

We have changed the definition of Level AAA conformance so that all Level
AAA Success Criteria that apply to the content types used must be satisfied.
