Re: SC 1.3.4 - Understanding doc update

Hi Alastair,

Much better, thanks.

One remaining sticking point... you indicate a change in SC name to
"Autocomplete", which I wouldn't completely oppose, but the WG has yet to
discuss or consent to that change (nor this Draft Text). There *are* other
proposals for a change of name, some of which I have previously offered
on-list:

   - ​Common Inputs
   - Automated Inputs
   - Metadata on Inputs  (<< This introduces the concept of metadata, which
   may be a positive reinforcement)

Perhaps we could ask the Chairs (all 3 - congrats BTW) to add this to the
agenda for today's call? One larger question remains: *CAN* we make an
editorial change of this significance at this stage of the CR process? I
believe so, but we need to dot the "I"s and cross the "T"s...
