FW: underlying platform software

Forwarding Gregg’s note to the public email group. Thanks Gregg for looking into the use of “underlying platform software”. We have an issue #612<https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/issues/612> on this very topic. I’ll copy your note into that issue to help with the resolution.

Best regards,

Subject: [EXTERNAL] underlying platform software


platform software appears 52 times in WCAG2ICT

in 45 of them (and the definition) you have changed “underlying platform software”  to "Platform software"

but there are still 7 that were missed.

I found if I  search for underlying platform software  I  don’t find them all.

if you search for underlying though — you will find them all (along with some other uses of underlying which are fine)
