WCAG 2 proposed changes (review by 23 February)

The following 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

For proposed substantive or editorial 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, those changes will be merged or brought back for 
another review.
