Re: A stray mention of "conformance" in SC 4.1.1

I agree with the method of fixing the note. Removing 'conformance to'
doesn't change the meaning of the statement.

Subject: A stray mention of "conformance" in SC 4.1.1



Hi gang,

Staring at our latest draft, I noticed a stray reference to "conformance"
in 4.1.1 Parsing.  The reference is in our first Note:



        Note: Markup is not always available to assistive technologies or
        to user selectable user agents such as browsers.  Software
        sometimes uses markup languages internally for persistence of the
        software user interface, in ways where the markup is never
        available to assistive technology (either directly or through a
        document object model (DOM)), or to a user agent (such as a
        browser). In such cases, conformance to this provision would have
        no impact on accessibility as it can have for web content where it
        is exposed.



I am NOT suggesting we try to fix this before publication tomorrow.  But
for our FINAL draft, I think we can simply delete "conformance to" from
that sentence, so the last sentence would read: " In such cases, this
provision would have no impact on accessibility as it can have for web
content where it is exposed."


Thoughts?
