Working Group Resolution (LC-2784):
Thanks for your comment. We agree. 

We have updated the second paragraph of the Intent, the entirely of the
paragraph will now read:

[DONE] The purpose of this success criterion is to help a person know which
element has the keyboard focus.

Working Group Resolution (LC-2785):
Thank you for the comment.  We recognize the issue you are referring to and
will modify the note as follows:

Change to:
When labels are provided for input objects, the input object's relationship
to the label (or to redundant text serving as the label) must be
programmatically determinable or available in text per Understanding SC
1.3.1
