Part of Item: 
Comment Type: question
Summary of Issue: apparent contradiction
Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change):
The definition of "user interface component" states (at Note 2) that this includes links. The definition of a "change of context" has, as an example "opening a new window" and yet the document "Understanding SC 3.2.2" states that giving users advanced warning when opening a new window is not required for conformance.



If a link is a user interface component and opening a new window is a change of context, does it not follow that opening a new window without warning the user is a failure under SC 3.2.2? 

Proposed Change:
clarify whether the definitions are correct and whether the "Understaning SC 3.2.2" document is incorrect.
