The proposed changes will pastorally steer developers away from depending on the enclosing *sentence* or *paragraph* as the link context and will move them towards a more robust programmatic association such as the accessible name. There is no change to what passes or fails.

If there is no change in what passes or fails, we should handle it in Understanding.
