Re: Conformance and method 'levels'

Patrick's comment makes a lot of sense to me.

I think we want to be careful about swapping A for Bronze, AA for Silver 
and AAA for Gold.  We want to get away from levels for individual 
success criteria and look at the Bronze Silver Gold as an overall 
score.  But I get the idea that it is low points, medium points and high 
points.
