Gregg,
The current language is:
For each time limit set by the content where user-entered data can be lost, the user is advised about the length of the time limit at the start of the process, unless any user-entered data is preserved for at least 24 hours after the limit is reached.
Real-time events such as running out of hotel rooms, or an auction closing out are not set by the content, so they would not apply. We can explain that in the Understanding document of course.
[Jason] 2.2.1 uses the phrase “time limit that is set by the content”. Real-time events and “essential” exceptions are then handled as exceptions (i.e., special cases). This treatment makes it clear that such cases are indeed instances of “time limits set by the content” as this phrase is used in WCAG, contrary to your assertion above.
If you want to exclude them from any proposal, it has to be done explicitly.
