WCAG 2 proposed changes (review by 1 June)

This email outlines the updates proposed and implemented by the
WCAG 2 Task Force. It provides a two-week window for Working Group
members to review non-normative WCAG 2 updates, and consists of
changes in several categories.

# How to provide feedback on the following changes

1. Give a thumbs up on the Pull Request description to agree.
    We are looking for at least four +1 votes (activating the đź‘Ť emoji)
    for substantive or errata changes.

2. Or provide feedback in the conversation thread to request changes.

* Based on feedback, changes will be merged or brought back for another 
review
* For proposed draft responses to issues, give a thumbs up or comment
* If you spot a problem with an implemented bug fix, open a new issue



## Proposed normative changes

The Task Force has identified the following normative changes
(including both substantive and editorial changes).

These are listed here to initiate a normative review process.
They will be added to an upcoming call, and if the attending working 
group members are in general agreement, they will go through a formal 
Call for Consensus (CFC) process.
