Should the rationale under each checkpoint be stratified by conformance level? That is, should it be explicit as to who will most likely benefit from level 1 conformance, who will still be excluded unless level 2 or level 3 is met, and, where applicable, what the limitations of the checkpoint as regards making the content accessible? I recall a memorable statement by Charles McCathieNevile at a WCAG meeting (last November, if memory serves) to the effect that he wanted content developers and policy setters, via the guideline, to be aware of whom they were including and excluding by taking certain design decisions; and that the conformance scheme should facilitate such awareness. [Charles, please correct me if this summary misrepresents your assertions at the meeting.]
