RE: Re: Conformance use-cases

Hi Jan,

Ok, but if a tool does not support something required by ATAG, doesn't that make it a partial claim?

I just don't understand how you can make a full claim for a tool *and* not support something.

Makes perfect sense for the partial claim.

Kind regards,

-Alastair
