It is not about the acronym but rather about the scope of WCAG versus that of the Methodology. Web content is used to build websites. WCAG applies to any web content while our Methodology is limited to websites. I think we should either use the term "website" to denote static and dynamic web pages, web applications, intranets, mobile sites, etc, or come up with another term that applies to websites in their entirety.
