[J. Ryan Stinnett [:jryans] (Use needinfo, replies may be slow)]

We'd like consider adding an "audits" that provide action or steps that can be taken to improve some aspect of the page. 

These could take the form of:

(a) Standalone reports (potentially re-running the page with extra diagnostics) that list things noticed as part of the whole page
(b) Inline notices near elements, etc. related to audit results

Some examples of ideas like this include:

* Accessibility issues
* Layout issues
* Performance issues
* Web Compat issues

That's just a start... there are surely more!

Security issues should also be part of it.

Ryan, should individual blocking bugs for the different aspects of this already be created?

Yes, security seems like it would fit as well.

Sure, feel free to file them.  While we aren't planning to work on this concept right away, it would still be helpful to capture use cases to motivate working on it in the future, so if you have some specifics in mind, it seems fine to file them and block this.
