Resolution status:

AAA conformance - It is not clear how one achieves AAA conformance. In the WCAG 2.0 document (under the 'Conformance' heading) there is a note "Because not all level 3 success criteria can be used with all types of content, Triple-A conformance only requires conformance to a portion of level 3 success criteria". Does this mean a site can claim Triple-A conformance if they comply with all Level A and Level AA SC and one Triple-A SC? This statement is in contradiction with information in the "Baseline" document which states (under the 'Vertical and Horizontal scoping in conformance statements' - first question) "Any web content for which Level AAA conformance is claimed must meet all Level 1 and Level 2 success criteria plus at least 50% of applicable Level 3 success criteria".

Proposed Change:

Firstly, there must be consistency between the two documents and how to claim AAA conformance must be clearly detailed. I do not understand why AAA is being treated differently to A and AA. I believe AAA compliance should mean compliance with all AAA SC, not just ones the developer chooses to implement.
