Proposed minor modification to Authoring Tool definition in ATAG2

Hi all,

In order to be more clear about the fact that web-based tools are covered by ATAG2, I suggest the following change. (I think it is non-substantive because it doesn't actually change what is covered)

PROPOSED:
Any web-based or non-web-based application(s) that can be used by authors (alone or collaboratively) to create or modify web content for use by other people (other authors or end users).
Note 1: "application(s)": ATAG 2.0 may be conformed to by stand-alone applications or by collections of applications. If a conformance claim is made, then the claim must provide identifying information for each application and also for any required extensions, plug-ins, etc.
...
(The other notes remain unchanged)


CURRENT:
Any software (or collection of software components) that can be used by authors (alone or collaboratively) to create or modify web content for use by other people (other authors or end users).
Note 1: "collection of software components": Multiple applications, plug-ins, etc. can be used together to meet ATAG 2.0 (see also note in the "Required Components of an ATAG 2.0 Conformance Claim").
...
