Re: Changing definition of "Large text" to use px rather than pt

You  need to be careful though  - to not use a note to try to redefine something.

A note can only explain what is in the normative section..   A note cannot say anything other than what is in the normative part and cannot redefine anything in the normative part to be narrower or broader than what is there.

If the normative wording can't be touched, then I'd also be keen to get a note here (and NOT relegating this merely to "Understanding..."), because - as James rightly notes - this is important to solve and a great source of confusion once you go out to talk to developers.
