Comment on Word Choice in WCAG2ICT

I think the choice of words selected to replace 'web page' ('document' and 'program') is not the best choice of words to use. I believe the word 'screen' is much more appropriate. As we are already using that word and it is used in every software development practice and not just websites/web apps. In addition, the choice to use 'software program' I believe is too large of a unit to measure.

Proposed Change:
use the word 'screen' and/or 'set of screens' for defining the unit of measure.
