I believe that > allowing a Triple-A rating will give something to aim for. I don't think that's reason enough to open it up to the abuse of triple-A, which is orders of magnitude more common. Disability-oriented sites have better reasons to implement everything they can than just to score a triple-A, and most of them aren't going to do any less just because there isn't a triple-A-like level. To put it another way, those who do care will do the best they can in any case -- even if we have no conformance levels at all. We have to be concerned with everybody else. - m
