I think WCAG 2.0 defines "web pages" but not "websites", which is why attempted to provide a definition for our use: - A coherent collection of one or more related web pages that together provide common use or functionality. It includes static web pages, dynamically generated web pages (aka CMS-driven), and web applications (aka client-side scripting). This definition will probably still need a lot more work (for example to remove the recursion in it) but I hope it covers what we all mean.
