RE: Getting started on the comments: #21 & #22

(apologies to Sofia for doing this so late...)

Comment 21: 

Jason suggests changing, for 2.5.3 [1], in the part "Actions are checked
for input errors before going on to the next step in the process", that
"process" be replaced with "task". He says this is particularly relevant
if his comment about 2.4.2 "Are there "processes" which are not "tasks"
for purposes of this criterion?" is accepted. I'm inclined to accept his
comment, but we should coordinate with the team working on 2.4.2.

Comment 22: 

Jason asks, for 2.5.4 [2], "Should "context-sensitive help" be defined
in terms of "the task, or the step in the task, currently being
performed"? This would require it to be specific to the over-all task
while allowing individual steps in a task to have their own help items."

I'm not clear if he's suggesting we change the SC, or the definition of
context-sensitive help [3]. I personally think it's best if there's
wiggle-room about what degree of specificity context-sensitive help must
have, and therefore would like to leave the SC as is. But we could
update the definition to read "help text that provides information
related to the <del>function</del><ins>task, or step in the task,</ins>
currently being performed".

Issue 1771 [4], also from Jason, dealt with this, and changes were made.
I guess Jason is requesting even more clarification, but we could treat
this as "already raised and answered" if we want.
