Ah, just found it under “content (Web content)”. It looks like Java web start is what it says – it starts from the web, but then downloads the application (or enough of it) to run as Java. The (largely circular) definitions aren’t particularly clear for this, but I don’t think it uses “web pages” as such. It doesn’t render in a user-agent, it downloads the “user-agent” as part of it. It is an application package, and the accessibility API for that would surely be via Java, not a separate user agent, therefore it does not render webpages? Secondly, is this something that would aim to conform to WCAG 2.1, or is ‘legacy’ and limited to 2.0?

This definition might include a lot of things we haven't considered. PhoneGap wraps web content that uses HTTP.
