Thanks for this. Makes me wonder if we need to consider this kind of partial conformance, or exceptions which when applied still enable 'conformance' in principle. I expect that government or whatever will just take conformance to guidelines as a requirement for software purchase (as it's easier), which may not be applicable to many UAs.
