Thanks, that's why I asked. Often wen engineers hear web application they think of putting role="application" on the page body for this type of definition, which should never be done.

Mike's needs appear to be more specific such as a commercial shopping portal and the like, which I don't have an example of at the moment, but yours seems to be more general regarding a collection of provably accessible dynamic widgets, which you can see a collection of here if this is of help to you.

Unfortunately the majority of commercial web applications that I can think of at the moment, or dynamic web applications that all run from the same page, are found within enterprise web portals that are not publically viewable.

Generally a shopping site that navigates to different pages for it's processing is just a website, accessible or otherwise, so if that's what you guys are after, that broadens the possibilities.

Web applications in contrast are more restrictive and usually refer to heavily JavaScripted client side interactivity managed from within a small number of web pages, or as portal web apps dynamically injected into other web pages.
