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.
