Most businesses that claim standards compliance don't actually understand the standards. The main difference, here, is that, in most business areas, you can solve that by a clause in the purchase contract that requires compliance to some set of numbers that is just a set of reference numbers, to the specifier. When people try and use tools to make sites compliant, they are using the same thinking. They are relying on tool supplier to ensure they are compliant. It's very similar, I think, with accounts and small businesses; they often rely on their accountant to create something acceptable to the tax authorities, but don't really understand them themselves.
