Where?

Noting that if you're doing an ACR/VPAT, you generally reference WCAG 
2.x as well. So regardless of what Apple or Google may say/comment, WCAG 
is indeed referenced officially by Section 508 and EN 301 549.

And yes, by design, WCAG is for web technologies (it's in the name). 
With a few exceptions though, the principles and requirements underlying 
SCs are tech agnostic.

Also yes, the idea behind Silver is that it will be even more 
agnostic/applicable to all sorts of things beyond pure web technologies 
(for better or worse).
