Re: Editorial changes to SC

In general I think they look great and it helps a lot...

I would like to discuss with the group the option of making all bulleted
lists into orderded lists that are numbered... it would then be easier to
refer to individual bullets in reports of conformance.

For instance in User Interface components if referring to the part on
Inactive components an evaluator could list.

1.4.12 #2
OR
1.1.12.2

Currently many SCs don't have bullets OR numbers which is a departure from
WCAG 2

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#graphics-contrast
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#user-interface-component-contrast-minimum

Even some of  the WCAG 2 SCs that have bullets in the original don't have
them in the last draft.
See the original 1.4.3
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#visual-audio-contrast
VS
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#contrast-minimum

And I think the latest draft is confusing without these bullets because it
looks more like glossary terms than part of the SC text.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
