Untill there is a version of WCAG that replaces / sunsets 2.0 (like 2.0 replaced 1.0), it is not clear how any individual normative requirement of WCAG 2.0 can be declared officially to be irrelevant. There may be some gov agencies / law that still reference WCAG 1 ... that's fine, but it is not ok now for W3C to say that only some checkpoints of WCAG 1.0 are invalid. WCAG 2.1 is meant to be incremental, right? By the way, many consider SC 1.4.4 to be addressed by user agents. So the Understanding doc is a place to clarify such developments. Also for any Web page, seldom do all Level A and Level AA SCs apply. So those that do not apply because the particular type of content is not present are deemed to have been met or not applicable. And of course 4.1.1 is very relevant to make content robust across platforms / UA - AT combos. Thanks, Sailesh Panchang
