Thanks Bryan, these are all useful and good observations.

To the original point, these are all things that are not normatively 
required by the SC, and never have been. Many auditors have added these 
in the own interpretation or what 2.1.1 should say, and that these 
factors are all involved in deciding whether or not content passes or 
fails 2.1.1, even though this was not in the spec per se. Hence the 
recent additions to the understanding in 2.2 tried to clarify this, as 
it historically led to inconsistent audit results.
