Those are the types of changes in content contemplated by WCAG 2.0 in
the definition of 'change of context'.
Were these not be addressable by one or more SCs in WCAG 2.0, surely
an SC would have been included in that recommendation.

Not sure what you mean by controls with built in apparatus.
Using role=dialog is one method of making popups perceivable to AT users.
One could also simply toggle aria-hidden=true on the parent container
and only expose the popup content with suitable structural markup till
the user dismissed the popup. That too would make content perceivable
without using role. With such markup in place a user will know where
to find result of specific action.
In the case of short text messages conveying result of user action
too, one could also place an off-screen (or visible) heading  like
'Form Status:' or 'Shopping cart status:' on page load and place the
result of form submission / cart updation  following that heading.
This exposes info-relationship and structure and sufficient to pass
WCAG 2.0. But just as using role=dialog is preferable, using
role=alert (or aria-live) is preferred for the update text messages.
So does this also qualify as a 'control with builtin apparatus'?
For the modal or the result of update, SC 1.3.1 kicks in too.

After much deliberation the WG approved ARIA18/19  as sufficient for
current WCAG 2.0 SC(s). Here too, content is being  added on user
action.
So I do not understand the resistance for using such ARIA markup  for
similar cases  now being discussed under 3.2.7 description.

In the Understanding 3.2.7 refer to '• When a graphical spinning
"busy" signal notifies visual users'.
SC 1.1.1 will kick in if the img had no suitable alt and SC 1.3.2 if
it is not in the expected reading flow.

In other words the more I dwell on this and read the Intent  /
description for 3.2.7, I do not see why existing WCAG 2.0 SCs cannot
be applied to content added as result of user action.

Andrew I am looking at  Issue#2
(https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/2) and the SC text does not have
"or that conveys information" ... it is in the page title though.
In any case, the description for the SC does not describe situations
like weather updates you brought up. So we can defer that discussion.

Objection #2:
You replaced the words 'driving reason' for what I stated: The form
control does not trigger the  new content but is the cause of it.
If  the exception#1  requires some editing, I suppose the objection I
raised is not unjustified.

Thanks and best wishes,
Sailesh
