The conformance section in the current draft says that the idea of
allowing a conformance claim based on the conformance of the tools used to
ATAG is under consideration.
This is preposterous. Given that an ATAG tool cannot force content to meet
any conformance level, there is no guarantee that the content generated
meets WCAG requirements, and it should therefore not be acceptable to
claim conformance. If WCAG conformance claims are to be any use in the
real world, they must at least be a reliable indicator of content
conformance to known requirements.
cheers
