According to Alex's Google statistics, Conformance is 2.5 times more common
than Compliance across W3C. Therefore it would be safe to say:
"Compliance is synonymous with Conformance. Conformance is more commonly
used within W3C. For consistency, the QA Activity uses only Conformance".
("Within the QA Activity" is redundant, if this is in the QA Glossary. And
... forget other reasons for preference, as they seem inflammatory.)
