Conformance Paragraph Revision Relates to comments received on Issue 1358 (http://trace.wisc.edu/bugzilla_wcag/show_bug.cgi?id=1358) The current wording doesn't seem to acknowledge that both computer and human testing could be used for some success criteria. So the following is suggested as an edit. Current: The WCAG Working Group also believes that all WCAG 2.0 success criteria are testable. Some can be tested by computer programs while others must be tested by qualified human testers. When multiple people who understand WCAG 2.0 test the same content using the same success criteria, the same results should be obtained with high inter-rater reliability. Proposed replacement for second sentence above: Some can be tested by computer programs, some must be tested by qualified human testers, while others may be tested using both. So it then reads Current: The WCAG Working Group also believes that all WCAG 2.0 success criteria are testable. Some can be tested by computer programs, some must be tested by qualified human testers, while others may be tested using both. When multiple people who understand WCAG 2.0 test the same content using the same success criteria, the same results should be obtained with high inter-rater reliability.
