Comment (including rationale for proposed change):

If a conformance claim is made for http://example.com/, does this include subdomains like http://www.example.com/, http://lists.example.com/ and http://cvs.example.com/?
I would assume that they are all covered, unless some of them are explicitly excluded. This approach would be in line with RDF Content Labels [http://www.w3.org/2004/12/q/doc/content-labels-schema.htm] and URI Pattern Matching by the Web Content Labels Incubator Group [http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/wcl/matching.html].

Proposed Change:

Add the following to item 6 of \"Required components of a conformance claim\":
\"If only the URI of a host (e.g. http://example.com) is given without specifying subdomains, all subdomains (e.g. http://www.example.com/ and http://lists.example.com) are assumed to be covered, unless some subdomains are explicitly excluded.\"; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMA] Discussed in the 05 April 2007 telecon: resolution: accept LC-1517 claims for subdomains as amended http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2007/04/05-wai-wcag-minutes.html {resolved partial} DONE add "Note: Be sure to make it clear whether subdomains are included in the claim." to item 6 of conformance claims. Internal WD updated 09 April 2007 Response: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007Jun/0007.html; Resolution: We have clarified item 4 under "Required components of conformance claim:" A description of the URIs that the claim is being made for, including whether subdomains are included in the claim.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
