+            The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 specification [[WCAG21]] includes a Success Criterion (<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#orientation">SC 1.3.4</a>) related to screen orientation.

+        <p>
+            ​The intent of this Success Criterion is to ensure that all content and functionality is available regardless of the display
+            orientation (portrait or landscape). Some websites and applications automatically set the screen to a particular display
+            orientation and expect that users will respond by rotating their device to match.
+        </p>

+        <p>
+            However, some users may have their devices mounted in a fixed orientation (e.g. on the arm of a power wheelchair). Therefore,
+            websites and applications need to support both orientations by making sure content and functionality is available in
+            each orientation. While the order of content and method of functionality may have differences the content and functionality
+            must always be available. When a particular orientation is essential, the user needs to be advised of the orientation

I think we usually try to avoid RFC 2119 key words in non-normative sections...
