Re: 48 hour Call for Consensus (CfC): Updated definition of "accessibility requirement" ready for AG WG review

+1

Though I'd mention that the word "requirement" is often still commonly 
understood as being an absolute necessity/requirement with a sense of 
compulsion. Saying that a requirement can be advisory reads like a 
non-sequitur, but I guess that's a corner that is difficult to paint 
ourselves out of (unless there's scope to expand this to say that the 
requirement itself is always compulsory, but it may be related to a 
document or standard which in itself is only advisory - e.g. in the way 
that to say you're following ARIA Practices you are required to adopt 
the correct patterns, but sticking to ARIA Practices per se is only 
advisory).
