Minor editorial proposal for WCAG 2.1: use of ordered vs unordered lists in SC text

Only a minor quibble, but: WCAG 2.0 currently has mixed use of 
unordered/bulleted lists and ordered/numbered lists in some of the SC 
normative text. The order of the items in those ordered lists is 
arbitrary, so I'd say they don't need to be ordered. For WCAG 2.1, could 
this be harmonized?

SCs with unordered/bulleted lists: 1.1.1, 1.2.1, 1.4.3, 1.4.5, 1.4.6, 
1.4.7, 2.2.1, 2.2.2
SCs with ordered/numbered lists: 1.4.8, 3.3.4, 3.3.6

I'd suggest changing the ordered lists to unordered would make most 
sense. And as I don't believe this change alters the meaning of the SCs' 
normative text, this is purely editorial/non-substantive.

There are further parts where numbered lists are used where arguably 
bulleted lists would be more appropriate (like Appendix A:Glossary - 
abbreviation, Appendix A:Glossary - changes of context, likely lots of 
places in the understanding and how to meet documentation), but I'm less 
concerned about these...
