ATAG2 Proposal re: B.1.1.2

On the last call, a couple of issues were raised with our formulation of B.1.1.2...one of the issues was some confusion around options (c) and (d) related to checking...as in:

B.1.1.2 Content Auto-Generation During Authoring Sessions (WCAG): Authors have the default option that, when web content is automatically generated during an authoring session, then one of the following is true: 
- @@Note 1: Automatic generation includes automatically selecting templates for authors. 
- Note 2: This success criterion applies only to automatic processes specified by the authoring tool developer. It does not apply when author actions prevent generation of accessible web content.
+ (a) Accessible: The content is accessible web content (WCAG) without author input; or 
+ (b) Prompting: During the automatic generation process, authors are prompted for any required accessibility information (WCAG); or 
+ (c) Checking Active: After the automatic generation process, accessibility checking is active on the output; or 
+ (d) Checking Suggested: Authors have the default option to have accessibility checking suggested.

I propose clarifying them (c) and (d) as follows:

(c) Automatic Checking: After the automatic generation process, accessibility checking is automatically performed.
or 
(d) Checking Suggested: After the automatic generation process, the authoring tool prompts authors to perform accessibility checking.

Ed. Default option has been removed from (d), but it's already in the main SC statement.

Cheers,
Jan
