Action Item Bug: 1568

Hi all,

I received an action item from the last team A meeting to look into
Bug 1568 [1]:

"the glossary defines a change in focus as a change in context
so this SC doesn't make sense."

This issue has been raised in relation to Guideline 3.2 Level 1
Success Criteria 1 [2]

"When any component receives focus, it does not cause a change of context."

A change in focus is not the same as receiving focus. As Andi
Snow-Weaver raised this issue, I think it adds weight that we do
provide a definition for focus and receives focus. If it's difficult
to understand by members of the working group, there's a good chance
it could be misinterpreted by those who have not been involved or
following the progress of WCAG 2.0.

I read in the minutes of the 29th September meeting [3] that there was
a resolution from the working group not to define focus, and Andi was
present at the meeting.
