RE: Page length and number of links

This is good news that the WCAG WG may consider creating a failure for
endless scrolling!  Skittles.com is a good example of this.

This failure may be a good place to start:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20120103/F16

This sufficient technique could also be used as a bases for a failure.

That's an interesting question.  If you do think that there is a failure
whenever the scripting to load more content on a page is used, we should
have a failure technique for that - anyone who wants to write up a technique
(failure or success types both ok!) can submit the technique at
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/TECHS-SUBMIT/

Those likely already violate WCAG 2.0 in different ways, though off the top
of my head I'm not 100% sure which particular SCs. At the very least, there
should be a setting that disabled endless scroll and instead has a button to
"Load more tweets" or whatever dynamically.
