1) There is no language in the the Common Purposes of User Interface Components introduction clarifying that these are just conceptual terms and not keywords.

I think there must be clarifying language of some sort in the introduction text, or implementers are going to be very confused. I also thought that since introductory language was never reviewed on the call and needed some editorial work, I would make a first  pass:


"This section contains a listing of some common user interface component purpose terms. The terms below are not keywords which must be used, but instead represent purposes that must be captured in the taxonomy adopted by a website. Where applicable, authors mark up controls with the chosen taxonomy to indicate the semantic purpose. This provides the potential for user agents and assistive technologies to apply personalized presentations that can enable more people to understand and use the content." 

2) As well, not sure why "Chat help" is not marked at risk since it had the same survey results as many that were. Can we at least make it "Get support" so that it both does not overlap with "help," and is not so bound to one delivery system for support?

On the call we decided to call it “Identify Common Purpose”.
