RE: finishing up MS04

So the full text is:

Retracing a navigation step is important for users with cognitive issues that involve memory and attention. This is also important for users whose means of input is not 100% accurate, such as speech input users or users with fine motor challenges. It is also beneficial for users for whom navigation is time consuming, tiring, or painful, because it allows them to avoid having to re-enter long URLs. The Back feature is a part of the user agent user interface instead of the rendered content, however, authors should not "break" the Back button by disabling it, or creating sequences of web pages that would cause an error if the Back button were used.

I might add a further sentence:

An exception can be made when the content on the previous page is no longer available (e.g. when the user has selected a link to logout).

Cheers,
Jan

MS04 (be clear what is user interface and what is rendered content)
We fixed our definitions, but MS04 also pointed out SC where we were not specific which applied.  I propose the following:

3.2.2 Back button.  Added sentence to Intent
​​
​​
"The Back feature is a part of the user agent user interface instead of the rendered content, however, authors should not "break" the Back button by disabling it, or creating sequences of web pages that would cause an error if the Back button were used. "

​​​​​​
​​
​​
​​
"The Back feature is a part of the **UA** user interface instead of the rendered content, however, authors should not "break" the Back button by disabling it, or creating sequences of web pages that would cause an error if the Back button were used. "​
with a link to the defintion of UA user interface
​​



3.2.3 Spell Check: User agents provide spell checking functionality for text created inside the user agent.
Changed to: "UA user interface provides... "  [UA user interface is linked to the definition]

2.2.1 Sequential Navigation Between Elements: The user can move the keyboard focus backwards and forwards through all recognized enabled elements in the current viewport. (Level A)
Change to "...all recognized enabled elements in the rendered content of the current viewport."  [rendered content is linked to definition]
