Question about applicability of authoring tool requirements

Hello All,
I believe authoring tool requirements of S508 Chapter 5 do apply to
SharePoint apps or bug tracking apps or pages that permit one to add
comments / pictures.
These In a sense have authoring tool features, sometimes, including
ability to save in a different format,   but the application  or page
may not be typically be regarded as an "authoring tool application"
and individuals who  add / edit content may not see themselves as
authors.
So I am just doing a rethink:  are these "authoring tools" for S508 purpose?
Thanks,
--
