RE: 3.2 L3 SC1 Guide update

Agree with respect to page 2 and page 3

One reason we used "consistent" rather than "same"  was that this would be
consistent since each one gave the page number that the button would  talk
you to. (even though they are not the same).

(thanks Alex for pulling this together though so quickly when you got back).

I think this SC is about more than the placement of icons: the placement of
navigation lists, search boxes and "small print" should also be predictable.
A server-side technique for this SC is the use of templates.

I don't understand why using "page 2", "page 3" etc is considered a failure.
What's wrong with informing the user about the number of the next page? What
would be wrong with something like "page 3 of 10"? It seems useful to know
how far you have progressed in a sequence of pages. (Even when the same icon
is used, I don't understand why saying "page 2", "page 3" instead of "next
page" would be an accessibility problem. This is not the same as saying
"next page" when the text in the icon says "page 2".)
