Re: New SC relating to notifications of content change (was Re: Some thinking around the orientation discussion)

I've taken stab at tweaking the SC proposal to address Gregg's concern
about "User awareness". I borrowed the language from Programatically
Determined, and created a new glossary item called "Programmatic
notification".

SC x.x.x Change of content: Programmatic notification is provided for
changes in content that either conveys information or indicates an action
was taken, whether these changes are made by auto updates or as a result of
user action. (Level AA)


Definition of "Programmatic notification": Notification by software from
data provided in a user-agent-supported manner such that the user agents
can extract and present this notification to users in different modalities,
without futher action by the user, beyond activating the control which
caused the change.


I've updated the Understanding to add Sailesh's examples when this applies
and his distinction between notification of content... and changes that can
be conveyed by notification of change of states, properties and values
required in 4.1.2.

The proposal is here:
