The ones I feel are most "sensible" as system-wide requirements include:
4.2 Specify the expansion of each abbreviation or acronym in a document
where it first occurs.
4.3 Identify the primary natural language of a document.
13.5 Provide navigation bars to highlight and give access to the
navigation mechanism.
13.7 If search functions are provided, enable different types of
searches for different skill levels and preferences.
14.2 Supplement text with graphic or auditory presentations where they
will facilitate comprehension of the page.
14.3 Create a style of presentation that is consistent across pages.
These are all either easy to do (relative to the value they provide)
or just common sense rules of web design or writing. You shouldn't
shy away from making them requirements on your site simply because
they have a the P3 label.
