Comment LC-999

Comment:

Part of Item:
Comment Type: substantive
Comment (including rationale for proposed change):

The term \"conformance\" is not necessarily a well understood term for many readers, and its use in the definition of \"normative\" therefore makes the definition of \"normative\" difficult to understand.


Proposed Change:

Add a definition for conformance, consistent with the definition of the EOWG definition of \"conforms,\"
http://www.w3.org/WAI/glossary/basic.html#conform
to the WCAG 2.0 glossary, and reference it in the definition of \"normative.\"

Resolution - Pending Response:

We have added the term to the glossary as follows:

conformance
satisfying all the requirements of a given standard, guideline or specification
