Contractual requirements aside, the basic purpose of conformance
checking is to promote interoperability.

So I too would favour such an advisory, but only if the conformance
checker gives guidance about the level of implementation of features
generally. Some sort of W3C Validator/caniuse mashup, that takes into
account things like search engine and screen reader implementation
status, would be super.
