Re: Proposed amendment to 1.4.11 for WCAG 2.2

The current text:
"User Interface Components: Visual information required to identify
user interface components and states, except for inactive components
or where the appearance of the component is determined by the user
agent and not modified by the author;"

The words "in all their" as a replacement to "and" does little.
The plural, "states" obviously means all states.
Obviously the current SC is talking about states of UIC, so, again,
the word "their" does not add value.
Generally, users of WCAG get overwhelmed easily so suggesting a change
to an SC that was written just a little over a year ago is not a good
idea.
There is no glaring editorial  hole that needs a fix via an errata and
unless one believes this is adding significant substance there is no
need for  an amended SC in 2.2.
At best: address it in the Understanding doc.
 Thanks,
