RE: Identify Common Purpose - resolving issues

@Alastair, in opposition to previous suggested text I see you're using "elements" where I used "types".
Focusing on "elements" I'm wondering if we want the purpose of an "element" to be known or do we want to hinge more to "types" which was part of previous suggestions (more neutral also maybe?!)

For reference here the two different ones: 

- “In content implemented using technologies with support for identifying the expected meaning for elements, for each element that has a purpose that maps to any of the [link]list of common input fields,  the meaning of the element can be programmatically determined.” 

- “For the list of common input fields that are supported by the technology for specifying the purpose of specific types, the purpose can be programmatically determined.”

+1 looks identical to my recently suggested text :-)

If we have the list in WCAG, we can use the line at the top of the appendix (there now) to indicate the user-aspect, we can remove it from the SC text.

I’d be happy with that, and combing those points would leave:

“In content implemented using technologies with support for identifying the expected meaning for elements, for each element that has a purpose that maps to any of the [link]list of common input fields,  the meaning of the element can be programmatically determined.”
(Removing user-specific)
