Re: 4.1.1 Parsing in WCAG 2.0 and 2.1

Hi John,

Just on this option:
> "Leave it in, defang it via a Note, and modify Section 5.2 to address the change in conformance requirements" - 2 normative changes to both 2.0 and 2.1”

I think Wilco’s suggestion was that you wouldn’t need to update the conformance model, you just consider it ‘passed’ (assuming you’re using HTML based content) as “specifications allow these features”.

It is an attractive option. I think we’d need a substantial update to the understanding doc to ensure people understand what we mean (as many people include the “content model” rather than see it as “wellformed-ness”).

Personally, I think the removal approach on WCAG 2.2 is still the best way to convey “you don’t need to test this”, but given the constraints for earlier version, would anyone object to this approach for 2.0 / 2.1? (And if so, why?)
