Continuous Emissions #109

Closed AlexDawsonUK closed 3 months ago

AlexDawsonUK commented 4 months ago

Issue: Websites can be accessible to a context and a person or not. This doesn’t apply to emissions as you can’t not emit. The WSGs currently don't provide the binary conversation regarding measurability in this context.

Solution: Provide further clarity in the guidelines around continuous emissions, and the target for conformance being about overall reduction with measurement caveats being discussed and the various (numerous) issues involved and how they should be accounted for.

I have expanded the introduction to provide more details regarding this subject matter in its own dedicated subheading (as a couple of other issues feed into this area and may need descriptive text at a later date).

It will be published with the next draft of the specification.
