new failure techniques for GL 1.3

I have created failure techniques for several success criteria in GL 1.3. 

1.3.1: notification of draft failure techniques previously sent to team b 
list [0].
1.3.2: Failure due to providing text alternatives that include words that 
appear in a text image, but fail to include information that is conveyed 
by the color of certain words in the image [1]
1.3.3:  Failure due to using CSS to create variations in presentation of 
text that conveys information without also using structure.[2]
1.3.4: no failures listed
1.3.5: There are two existing failure that still need decisions and one 
that I think can reuse a 1.3.1 failure.
1. Failure due to positioning information with CSS so that the visual 
reading order or the programmatically determined reading order does not 
convey the meaning of the content. [3] It seems to have a failure example 
and a good example - perhaps this should be split into a failure technique 
and a positive CSS technique? 
2. I have already proposed removing this one,  Failure due to positioning 
information with HTML layout tables so that the visual reading order or 
the programmatically determined reading order does not convey the meaning 
of the content.  See my proposal at [4]. 
3. I believe that this one (which is currently empty), Failure due to 
creating multiple columns of text in a plain text document by including 
lines from both columns, separated by a tab character, in a single text 
line, can be replaced with the one I create for 1.3.1, Failure due to 
using space characters to create multiple columns in simple text content. 
[5].

1.3.6 has two failures:
1. Failure due to identifying content only by its shape or location. [6]
2. Failure due to using "?"(circle mark glyph) and/or "?"(cross mark 
glyph) alone in order to convey information such as "available" or "not 
available", "good" or "bad", "yes" or "no" in the comparison table which 
shows the characteristics of the products. [7].  Which I suggest renaming 
to, "Failure due to using a non-text mark alone in order to convey 
information".

Please try to review before the team b meeting so we can decide if these 
are ready for survey and determine what to do with the CSS failure for 
1.3.5.

thanks,
