WCAG 2.1 Guideline Suggested Changes

Hello,

I am sending this WORD document, but have also pasted below the idea
mock-up of more specific Guidelines for 2.1 from Shadi and Kathy's CSUN
talk. Also, let me know if I have missed anything. It incorporates CFCs for
moving Status Changes and Animations from Interactions and the name change
to SC 1.3.4 and GL 2.3.

Please comments and suggest language text for the Guidelines themselves.

People may forget exactly what it was that you said or did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.......

Our scars remind us of where we have been........they do not have to
dictate where we are going.
