WCAG 2.1 Errata update

Apologies, that was premature ‘cntrl-enter’ send just then, more detail in this version:



Hi everyone,



The editors would like to publish some initial errata for WCAG 2.1, nothing substantial, just little errors that did not get picked up before publication.



This is a diff of changes made to WCAG 2.1 since the Recommendation, with colours (red/green) and code (del/ins) for the changes, and a little control at the bottom to skip between changes:



https://services.w3.org/htmldiff?doc1=https%3A%2F%2Flabs.w3.org%2Fspec-generator%2F%3Ftype%3Drespec%26url%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Frawgit.com%2Fw3c%2Fwcag%2F21e2c0578b7512b051baea0b24c924e324fb23d4%2Fguidelines%2Findex.html&doc2=https%3A%2F%2Flabs.w3.org%2Fspec-generator%2F%3Ftype%3Drespec%26url%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Frawgit.com%2Fw3c%2Fwcag%2Fd4dcc48d176aa33db1c6bee66e0e0188c5acb114%2Fguidelines%2Findex.html




The boilerplate & change log changes aren't significant (the larger blocks of change in the diff), the errata page would show:

  *   In the Introduction<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#intro>, several (but not all) references to "WCAG 2.0" should be "WCAG 2.1".
  *   In the 0.5.2 Numbering in WCAG 2.1<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#numbering-in-wcag-2-1>, the words "critera" and "ccriteria" should be "criteria".
  *   In Success Criterion 1.4.10 Reflow<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#reflow>, the first note had a supernumary "Note" indicator which should be removed.
  *   In 5.3.1 Required Components of a Conformance Claim<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#conformance-required> the editorial note "In WCAG 2.0 this was a dated URI, which may need to be adjusted when this becomes a Rec." should be removed.
  *   In the definition for keyboard interface<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-keyboard-interface>, the second (of three) note should be an example of the first note, leaving only two actual notes.
  *   In the definition for technology<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-technologies>, the third note should instead be an example.
  *   In 7. Input Purposes for User Interface Components<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#input-purposes>, the word "county" should be "country".

All minor stuff, but the date at the top will change and we didn't want anyone to be surprised by that or think we'd changed something significant.



If you have any objections to publishing the update & errata, please reply on list or to the chairs.



Kind regards,



-Alastair
