Hi


I would like to suggest the following as new wording and title for  contextual information. I think this addresses most of the concerns. Please let me know as soon as possible any remaining issues:


Identify Purpose (new label)
In content implemented using markup languages, the purpose of controls, symbols, and regions can be programmatically determined.




definitions


symbol: an image that indicates, signifies, or is understood as representing an idea or object such as, icons and the images used in AAC communications.


region:  a perceivable section containing content that is relevant to a specific, author-specified purpose and sufficiently important that users may likely want to be able to navigate to the section easily and to have it listed in a summary of the page or may want it hidden for simplified versions. Any area that would require a landmark role would be a region. 


(taken from aria  - other then the last sentence)




Old wording
In content implemented using markup languages, contextual information for controls, symbols, and regions can be programmatically determined using a publicly available vocabulary.


All the best
