The unification is true, but likely to be misunderstood. If we are going to make this a single checkpoint, the language referring to chrome+content should be in the main statement of the checkpoint (before the priority indication) and not in a Note. Here is a stab at saying the right thing in this regard: "both the functions of the User Agent itself, as exposed through the "chrome" of the application, and also the functions of active content, as exposed through enabled elements in the content."
