Re: Methodology title and acronym

Hi Alistair,

Be careful when you are opening cans full of worms... ;)

Seriously though, I think "estimate" sounds too tentative and does not 
do justice to the thorough outcomes from following such a methodology.

"Estimate" also sounds like a "quote" (price estimate) rather than the 
actual evaluation (or assessment) outcome. I find it hard to process.

Anyway, I *do* think this document describes a methodology to evaluate 
the conformance of websites with respect to accessibility. So we took 
these keywords and tried to put into the shortest title possible.

Is there a particular issue that you want to address or just fine tune?

Thanks,
   Shadi
