Re: Change title of Conformance in the context of WCAG-EM

Mike,

We may well, occasionally, find that all of the pages in a sampling 
conform.  Much more likely, folks using WCAG-EM may find that at most a 
subset of the sampled pages conform.  But I expect the vast majority of 
the time, folks applying WCAG-EM will find problems (however small) in 
most of the sampled pages.

Does anyone in this TF have experience to the contrary in the 
considerable experience we collectively have evaluating websites?

So I believe the emphasis of any examples should be in how to report the 
most common realities out there.  And not the theoretical perfection we 
are all still yearning to find actually exists in the wild.


Regards,

Peter
