Re: use of Priority vs Conformance Levels

(Switched reply to IG list...)

It sounds like something that we should talk about.  Should I queue an 
issue, to be sure it isn't lost?

I'm not sure that the new scheme is generally applicable (outside of 
accessibility arena), from what I read at:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-WCAG20-20020822/#conformance

But it would be good to understand the why and what of WAI's new approach 
here, and either confirm or modify our own approach.

Do you want to pursue #1 below ("why")?
