If there is a default version and it conforms, for example, at Level A, but other versions obtainable subject to negotiation conform at level AA or AAA, then can the conformance claim only be at Level A? This appears to be the result of the above proposals. With my original proposal, by contrast, the conformance claim could be at Level AA (or AAA) because it would still be true that there is one version of the content conforming at that higher level, even though it is not the "default". It isn't clear whether this is a desirable result. If there is a default version, then the most that can be claimed is the level of conformance achieved by that version. If there is no default, then the most that can be claimed is the highest conformance level achieved by any of the available versions (where "higher" means that AA is higher than A, and AAA is higher than AA). My question to the working group is whether this is what we want.
