I think in the triple A criteria you can remove "across a set of webpages". To me this was placed there to scope "consistently" as in the "series of webpages" needs to identify the purpose of controls "consistently". I think in the AAA case, we specifically don't want that, and would want metadata to be scoped more broadlly (fixed taxonomy, not per web page/series of web pages taxonomy). I'm also not sure what "and modified" is getting at and agree as well. I propose the folloowing: *In content implemented using markup languages, the purpose of conventional controls[1] can be consistently, programmatically determined through the use of metadata. * On Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 3:31 PM, lisa.seeman <lisa.seeman@zoho.com> wrote: > hi Jason > > I agree that the AAA the word "modified" should be removed.
