We are adding  the following note to Understanding Guideline 1.1:

Note: While changing the content into symbols includes changing it into
graphic symbols for people with developmental disorders and speech
comprehension difficulties, it is not limited to this use of symbols.

 We are adding the following to Understanding Success Criterion 1.4.1:

Examples of indicating an action include using color to indicate that a link
will open in a new window or that a database entry has been updated
successfully. An example of prompting a response would be using highlighting
on form fields to indicate that a required field had been left blank.

In Understanding 1.4.8, we are adding
"Lines should not exceed 80 characters or glyphs, where glyphs are the
element of writing in the writing system for the text."

We are looking into adding visual examples of glyphs.

Yes, that is correct.

Yes, that is correct. We are adding information to "C21: Specifying line
spacing in CSS" to make it clearer that the examples showing
line-height:150% are examples of space-and-a-half line spacing.

All the words  in the glossary are used with the same meaning. Because of
the tools we are currently using, we cannot create links from all the uses
of the words to the glossary definitions, but we will consider this
suggestion at a later date.

We added these reference to the Related Resources, and we are adding an
indication that these are the sources of the 14 pt and 18 pt sizes for Large
Text.
