Re: Conforming alternative for mobile should not be Desktop

 How about thi
​s?​

*Note 8: Sometimes specifically optimized views are delivered to the user
agent based on screen size, device type, etc. A WCAG conforming view linked
from such an optimized view could only be considered a conforming
alternative if it has the same functionality as this optimized view. For
example, a large screen view with a complicated menu, more content, or
additional interface elements would not be a conforming alternative to a
view optimized for small screen because the two have different
functionality.
