REVIEW - WCAG 2 proposed changes (due by May 13)

The following email outlines the updates proposed and implemented by the WCAG 2 Task Force. It provides a two-week window for Working Group members to review non-normative WCAG 2 updates, and consists of changes in several categories.

How to provide feedback on the following changes

For proposed substantive or editorial changes:

  1.  Give a thumbs up on the pull request description to agree. (We are looking for >4)
  2.  Or provide feedback in the Conversation to request changes

Based on feedback, those changes will be merged or brought back for another review.

Proposed normative change

In addition to the non-normative changes in the sections below, the Task Force has identified a normative change for the Working Group. This is listed here to initiate a normative review process. It will be added to an upcoming call, and if the attending working group members are in general agreement, it will go through a CFC process.

  *   Change markers: add visual style and remove unnecessary "text semantics" #1481<https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/1481>

Proposed substantive changes (changes that meaningfully add or alter existing non-normative guidance)

  *   Populate Target Size (Enhanced) Understanding Doc with Target Size (Minimum) updates #3638<https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/3638> (This was previously proposed but did not get sufficient review)
