In other words, if any required component is used, each of the other required components must also be used. The logos are a way of stating conformance at a certain level, and this fits the description of one of the required components of a conformance claim. This means that all of the other required components also need to be present, in other words: it is inappropriate to use conformance logos in isolation, without a real conformance claim. (See the note: "If a conformance logo is used, it would constitute a claim and must be accompanied by the required components of a conformance claim listed above" below the list of required components <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#conformance-required>.) However, the page about conformance logos does not mention this. Would it be possible to add this? The WCAG 1.0 conformance logos have been abused too much; we should at least make it very obvious how the WCAG 2.0 should not be used.
