Thanks for clarifying that these guidelines are for general purpose user agents. I already agreed in advance that we don't want per-disability conformance for that case. However, I think you need to make this scope explicit in the guidelines. It would also be good to add an informal comment that designers of devices suitable for specific disabilities may find it useful to look at guidelines that address those disabilities.
