We could bring to people's attention the challenges of ensuring conformance in complex software applications where you couldn't exhaustively test every aspect of the software for conformance.
14:25:52 [MaryJo]
Conformance claims for the Web aren't made on a per-page basis. You usually claim an entire website and typically would have to test a sampling of the web content rather than an exhaustive test.

There is also concern with the original proposal because it goes into substitutions for 'Understanding Accessibility Support' and 'Level of AT Support' sections which are more like the 'Understanding' sections of the SC and our task force hasn't been addressing 'Understanding' sections anywhere else in our document.

The concern is that the last two sentences point out an issue without any suggested resolution. However, similar text is used in the introductory text 4 chapters away, so may be useful to repeat here.
15:24:07 [MaryJo]
Should say 'As noted in the introduction,' since this is located so far away from the similar text.
15:24:20 [andisnow]
3) WCAG conformance is applied to the item being evaluated (i.e. web page) as a whole, except when a process includes use of several items, in which case all of the items that are needed in order to complete the process must conform. As noted in the Introduction, it wasn't possible to unambiguously carve up software into discrete pieces and so the unit of evaluation for non-Web software is the software program.
