(apologies to Sofia for doing this so late...) Comment 21: Jason suggests changing, for 2.5.3 [1], in the part "Actions are checked for input errors before going on to the next step in the process", that "process" be replaced with "task". He says this is particularly relevant if his comment about 2.4.2 "Are there "processes" which are not "tasks" for purposes of this criterion?" is accepted. I'm inclined to accept his comment, but we should coordinate with the team working on 2.4.2. Comment 22: Jason asks, for 2.5.4 [2], "Should "context-sensitive help" be defined in terms of "the task, or the step in the task, currently being performed"? This would require it to be specific to the over-all task while allowing individual steps in a task to have their own help items." I'm not clear if he's suggesting we change the SC, or the definition of context-sensitive help [3]. I personally think it's best if there's wiggle-room about what degree of specificity context-sensitive help must have, and therefore would like to leave the SC as is. But we could update the definition to read "help text that provides information related to the <del>function</del><ins>task, or step in the task,</ins> currently being performed". Issue 1771 [4], also from Jason, dealt with this, and changes were made. I guess Jason is requesting even more clarification, but we could treat this as "already raised and answered" if we want.
