Re: Text that is difficult to understand. Needs to be simplified and may be have an illustrative example.

Sylvie,

My apologies! I accidentally sent you the working group response to a
different comment. Here is the response that should have been sent:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.  We are simplifying the
paragraph and providing an example:

Sufficient techniques are provided in a numbered list where each list
item provides the technique or combination of techniques that can be
used to meet the Success Criterion. When there are multiple techniques
on a numbered list item connected by "AND" then all of the techniques
must be used.

For example, Situation B in Understanding Success Criterion 2.2.1
lists as the third sufficient technique:
 SCR16: Providing a script that warns the user a time limit is about
to expire (Scripting) AND  SCR1: Allowing the user to extend the
default time limit  (Scripting)

So both SCR16 and SCR1 must be used to satisfy this success criterion.
