RE: Add "Error correction (Processes)" to WCAG 2.2 draft

Hi Everyone,

The CFC did not pass, apologies for the delay in finalising this one.

I think it is worth one final shot if a small adjustment helps.

Of the issues raised:

  *   Gundula raised an issue, but off-list confirmed she could live with it.

  *   Justine raised an issue which I think can be tackled in the understanding document.
NB: Adding 'essential' to the end of the 1st bullet doesn't work with the definition.

  *   Jon & Sailesh raised issues around how it fits with 3.3.4 & 3.3.6

On the last point, what if we adjusted the levels so that we had:

3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data) - Level A, moving from AA.
3.3.X Error Correction (Processes) - Level AA
3.3.6 Error Prevention (All) - Level AAA

This doc shows the three SCs together: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PItvc45Neukviw3KZOS0dpOi3L4Xj5ZBMYxLT3vaLSY/edit#

The gap COGA were most interesting in filling was to enable correction before you finalise a process. That is not covered (properly) by 3.3.4. In WCAG 2.1 the aim was to update 3.3.4, but that didn't work out.

Would that adjustment to the levels make sense?

Kind regards,

-Alastair
