Who will create a list if I, as an author, work in an area that you've 
not covered? How can I test that I'm not failing this proposed SC? Same 
question if I'm an auditor...how can I determine if my client's site 
that I'm auditing is compliant?

What if there are multiple word lists for certain areas, produced by 
different people/organisations? Which one is the more authoritative, if 
I get a pass using one but a fail using another?

Who will guarantee the accuracy and maintenance of word lists? A third 
party organisation, or WAI? Who watches the watchers?
