We use "component" in a number of places including the introduction, guideline 4.2 and in the glossary. However, I don't think our use of the word is unique (thus probably doesn't need a definition). [snip] Component (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) In general, a thing's components are its parts; the things that compose it. Components are those identifiable, differentiable and autonomous elements that compose a system. [end snip] I think it's clear that non-text content that has function is a subset of components that have function and suggest we skip the definition and combine the two SC.
