>Adding 'color' to the SC now will make one conclude with certainty >that WCAG 2.0 does not include or mean to include 'color' for SC >1.3.3. Actually, the first step is to add this to the editorial errata list for WCAG 2.0, which will make one conclude with certainty that WCAG 2.0 does include color in 1.3.3. Does that make sense? Then, since the change is editorial we will make the textual change in WCAG 2.1 to avoid people needing to check the errata (which people generally don’t do).
