FPWD: We seek feedback on whether the flexibility introduced will encourage content providers to meet conformance because it is more achievable vs. whether they are less likely to improve if they don’t have to.

Flexibility for conformance is desperately needed. Full conformance is very difficult for most sites and products. Full conformance is impossible to evaluate for large and highly dynamic websites, and complex software. Flexibility in the conformance model will provide a substantial incentive for adoption, although it is unlikely that sites will opt to ignore WCAG 2.x conformance efforts. A mapping between the WCAG 2.x and 3 standards would also encourage adoption with a clear path to move to the new standard.

Draft Response:

Thank you for your comment.

We agree with you that we have to consider the need for flexibility around large and highly dynamic websites and complex software. And we already got this concern in the #448. Please let us use it to address this issue.

We will use this issue (#460) to track your proposal to create a mapping between "WCAG 2.x" and "WCAG 3.0". We will definitely create it to encourage those already using WCAG 2.x to adopt WCAG 3.0.
