Response from the Working Group
================================
We have rewritten the test to make it easier to understand and follow:

Procedure

1) Measure or estimate the amount of time that the average user spends on
the page.
2) Go to the page
3) Wait for 10 times the length of time the average user stays on the
page.  (From Step 1)
4) Check to see if there is a change in context during this time.
5) If there is no change of context STOP.
6) If there is a change in context, then check to see if there is any
mechanism on the page that would have prevented that change of context.
7)  If there IS a mechanism for preventing that change of context, use that
mechanism to prevent that change of context and run the test over.
8) If there is a change of context and there are no mechanism to prevent
that change in context then you have a failure


Notes:
* One way to measure or estimate the amount of time in step 1 would be to
check a web site's analytics to see how long the average user looks at the
page.
* An example of step 6 would be a mechanism for turning off auto updates.

Expected Results

If you reach step 8 then the content fails this success criteria.
