Re: EOWG Comments on WCAG 2.0 Conformance

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for a careful read of the Conformance section! See comments below:

> The claim "It [meaning the section] also explains what it means for Web 
> content technologies to be accessibility supported" is false.  The 
> section actually does the following: It explains how the accessibility

> a page that uses the web technology.

I integrated this into EOWG's replies where there was a relevant comment for it.

> Note 5, in the definition of "conforming alternative version" is

I note "scope of conformance" several times in http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-20071102/ and http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20071102/conformance.html

I don't see it explicitly defined,yet I'm assuming it means the "Web pages" that the conformance claim includes. (e.g., if your conformance claim is for a subset of your website)...

In any case, this seems to be new wording (I don't see it in http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/ ), and I didn't see a way to fit this into our previous comments. Therefore, if you want to submit it, please do so yourself.
