methods for conformance claims Re: Consensus Items

I do not think we should require of all claims that they be in a detailed
machine readable format. This will be a pain for people who know how to do an
assessment and regularly do them to a simple level.

I would support requiring a machine readable for of a claim at a given
conformance level, since this is small enough to be done easily (and we can
provide cut-and-paste stuff based on form-filling already).

I still support some form of conformance claim that can be written by a
person, and includes some reasonably good identification method such as
inclusion of a known image file linked to a known URI.

I think we should strongly support machine-readable, detailed claims.
