Conformance model for full websites / web apps

[alastc]

From an email, creating this issue:

WCAG 2’s conformance model is one of its biggest limitations. It works fine for individual pages, but scaled up to whole sites and apps as everyone needs to do, it often falls short. There are many complex challenges like for SPAs, authoring tools, third-party content, fast changing content, etc. WCAG 3.0 needs a conformance model that can work for full websites and apps, and which accounts for the limitations that come with doing accessibility at scale. The conformance model in this latest draft seems to be less certain than before even, with bronze / silver / gold levels now removed.

In response, I had said (/will say shortly):

There are likely to be 2 types of conformance: Per-view (similar to WCAG 2), and a site-level conformance. The per-view model is straightforward, the site-level we can work on in parallel once more guidelines are fleshed out.

This issues is being created to track this as a to-do item.
