- The sentence "to test accessible uses of a web technology" is confusing.
- The word "that" was missing?

Reviewed at 5/3 meeting. Anthony will continue to work on the wording. Take a look at definition of Accessibility Supported for inspiration: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#accessibility-supporteddef |

The casing of "web technology" is not entirely consistent.

It isn't just about the implementation in assistive technology for accessibility support. Per the WCAG definition, it's also about user agent support of the accessibility features in the technology. For example, use of technically sound WAI-ARIA may not be fully supported in older user agents or older assistive technology. In either case, the accessibility support isn't there. So are rules expected to always have defined the parameters (AT type, version and browser type, version) where there is accessibility support? Or for the user agent support can they simply point to the documented test results (as an example, the ARIA 1.1 support results).

This is still saying that rules test conformance of web technologies. That's not correct. Rules test conformance of applications built with web technologies.
