At the University of Leicester, we are auditing our many web services for WCAG 
2.1 AA compliance. We currently have 3 DSpace instances. Two are running 
version 6.3 and the other one will be shortly. (Currently running 1.8.3 but not 
exposed to the internet.)

I've seen that Tim discussed the approach to compliance on this group in March 
2018:

He referenced the code contribution guidelines, item 5
'User interface patches must be XHTML-compliant and have a W3C 
WCAG<http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/> Conformance Level of "Double-A"'. 
The link here is to WCAG version 1.0.

WCAG 2.0 compliance was raised in October 2018: 
https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/cmtygp/DCAT+Meeting+October+2018

Would/should WCAG 2.1 AA failures in DSpace 6 or 7 now be considered bugs?

Thanks
