Alternative Silver / WCAG 3.0 conformance model proposal

For those who were not present in yesterday's conformance deep dive, I 
just want to put the link to an alternative proposal that I have now 
outlined in response to the 2 existing proposals by Rachael and John.

I fear that in both proposals discussed so far, the scoring approach 
will be very complex and hard to understand. I am also uncertain whether 
the complete revamp of the structure into guidelines/methods is justified.

My proposal tries to envisage WCAG 3.0 more as an extension of WCAG 2.X, 
turning pass/fail into a graded scoring scheme with 5 points (what has 
been called 'adectival rating'). In that way, it supports the inclusion 
of new success criteria that are not easily amenable to a pass/fail 
rating. The proposal also allows the definition of paths (based on user 
tasks) as an aggregate for scoping conformance claims.

Here is the link:

This is just a sketch, and hopefully a basis for discussing alternatives 
that seem to me more workable than what we have so far.
