Thanks Alan

I've provided an update based on discussions with another member.

SC x.x.x.x Change of content: Programmatic notification is provided for
each change in content that indicates an action was taken or that conveys
information, unless one or more of the following is true: (Level AA)

1) The change immediately follows the control that triggered it, in the
programmatic reading order.
2) There is an accessibility supported programmatic relationship between
the new content and the user activated control that triggers it.
3) The primary purpose of the web page is to provide real time updates and
there are more than [x] updates a minute.

Note: The 3rd exception needs a bit of work, to get the balance between a
site that is bombarding a user with updates vs. helpfully notifying them.
Perhaps frequency threshold for the real time update exception could be
determined in consultation with a number of blind users.
