I'm not sure. Do the following all mean different things? 1. valid HTML5 2. conforming HTML5 3. WCAG conformance Valid HTML4/XHTML1 and WCAG compliance are currently different things. I'm not sure where "conformance" fits into the picture, but have an inkling it falls between the two (if so, not sure how useful I'll personally find that as an author). Or is conformance more about when HTML error handling kicks in (i.e. to handle non-conforming content). Something entirely different? I read 1.3 in the spec, it didn't simplify it for me. http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#conformance Can we get a clear definition of "conformance" and have that added to http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#terminology
