I think there were inconsistencies in the source, and I tried to
harmonize with existing usages of similar terms but perhaps introduced
further inconsistencies.
First, it makes sense to me to make the term being linked be "set of
documents". It's shorter, clear enough, and the entire context is
non-web, so I don't think we have to rub that in with every usage of the
term.
WCAG addresses that by putting a parenthetical clarification in the term
definition, but not using it in term references (see the WCAG definition
for content, which WCAG2ICT followed the pattern of). I hadn't followed
quite that pattern before but have now, so the term is now "set of
documents (non-web)". That would be the only place we'd see the
clarification.
Note the parenthetical runs up against a following parenthetical "(as
used in WCAG2ICT)". I wonder if we in fact need that, here or on any of
the other terms. It would simplify reading to remove those
parentheticals from the term headers in the key terms section. But I
didn't do it yet - let me know if it's ok with the TF.
You all may have a different solution to the disharmony Peter noticed.
If so, let me know. My solution is just a proposal.

I'll take text if the TF can give me a version it agrees on.

Fixed as proposed.

Yeah, I guess it should have been. This text comes out of my XSLT file,
not the actual and I didn't apply the search / replace there. I've
fixed that now.

I was only looking at Andi's message, hadn't seen this on the list (ref:
http://www.w3.org/mid/50C7FAAA.5060501@oracle.com). I've made this
change. Note I changed the order of the substitutions list to be in the
order they are replaced in the WCAG version.

These should be fixed now. I was staging for Friday, than changed the
staging for Thursday but didn't update the links until the link checker
caught me this morning.

I think that's within the spirit of the backup plan, so I made the
change. I also changed the editorial note to show the new version rather
than just describe it, so if we go to the backup I just have to swap
that in.
