Re: Requirements - R11: Critical path analyses

WCAG 2.0 Conformance Requirement #3 uses the term "complete processes":
  - <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#cc3>

I think we should use that term unless we mean something different.

This addresses a user advancing through a process to completion, such as: buying an airline ticket, completing a multi-page form, taking a online training course.
