RE: Proposal for 4.2, Ensure that user interfaces are accessible

 MY COMMENTS BELOW WITH GV:

Proposal 1: Amend the above to "label, role state and value".

GV:  GOOD



Proposal 2: Replace "every element of the Web content" with "every user
interface component of the Web content", 

GV:  GOOD 




then define "user interface component" as any part of the Web content that
can receive focus and accept input from the user.

GV:  NOT GOOD.  User interfaces also provide information.  You need to
either change this to 'user input interface component'  or change definition
to:  "any part of the Web content that conveys information to or accepts
input from the user".  It's not as clean but we can't define user interface
as only input.
