Conformance for WET
The goal is having the Web Experience Toolkit (WET) designed to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
Considering that a website conforming to WCAG 2.1 Level AA is also conforming to WCAG 2.0 Level AA, it was suggested that WET project initiate now the complete move in order to be conforming with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard.
After a conformance check, any reference to WCAG 2.0 Level AA would be need to be update to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. At the end of the implementation of WCAG 2.1 project, no reference to WCAG 2.0 should remain in the active documentation.
