Issue #2 https://github.com/w3c/w3c-waet/issues/2

CV: no test suite and mechanism to benchmark tools

SAZ: can we find some simple labels like "fully checks SC", "partially checks SC", and "doesn't address SC at all"

CV: not measurable unless we use massive resources

SAZ: so until then, prone to interpretation
... honest vendors will not use because their tools would seem worse then they really are
... and others may use it to misrepresent their tools

RESOLUTION: not add feature because there is no widely accepted comprehensive test case, but possible mention this somewhere together with the warning that tool support for automated testing varies significantly

Issue #63 https://github.com/w3c/w3c-waet/issues/63

CV: maybe can add a note in the formats section to "media", that they are hardly supported by tools
... prefer information close to where it is relevant in the document

RESOLUTION: add note to 2.1.1 that few tools are known to evaluate media formats

SAZ: the other point raised in this comment, is that tools provide varying approaches for checking accessibility features and that they have varying levels of accuracy
... we already address this point in the "testing" section

Issue #18 https://github.com/w3c/w3c-waet/issues/18

CV: created new section to separate between "user emulation" that is currently discussed under "dynamic content", and checking "rich internet applications" after rendering
... this also resolves comments #5 and #40

RESOLUTION: addressed by rewrite mentioned above

Issue #40 https://github.com/w3c/w3c-waet/issues/40

RESOLUTION: addressed together with #18

Issue #5 https://github.com/w3c/w3c-waet/issues/5

SAZ: need a new section but need to avoid the word "simulation"
