RE: Proposed SC on notification of dynamic changes to apage

The user selects the Yes radio button and a query is launched to get populate data for the fields following the radio button. The user then tabs past those fields while they are being built without realizing s/he missed something.
[Jason] The author is supposed to set aria-busy on the element while the update is happening. If we maintain that aria-busy is not in fact set by the user (although it does occur in response to the user’s action, albeit indirectly, so the point is debatable), then this scenario wouldn’t fail to meet WCAG 2.0 SC 4.1.2. I think 4.1.2 is written more narrowly than it should be, since some states and properties are updated in response to events that occur in the application but which are not set by the user; yet assistive technologies should still be notified of the changes.
