Change <ol> to <ul> when no order is intended (non-normative) (#3518

)

The understanding documents are oddly inconsistent when it comes to use
of `<ol>` and `<ul>`. This edits all cases (particularly in the newer
2.2 understanding docs, but some older ones too) where a list does not
have an explicit order and should just be an unordered list

         <p>Most user agents provide users with a color-only cue that a link has been previously activated by them ("visited").

               Authors also cannot set the visited state of links. The anchor element does not include a "visited" attribute; therefore the author has no ability to alter the state through an attribute setting. As such, authors cannot achieve <a href="info-and-relationships">1.3.1 Info and Relationships</a> or
               <a href="name-role-value">4.1.2 Name, Role, Value</a> in regard to visited links.

Where color alone distinguishes between visited and unvisited links, it does not result in a failure of this Success Criterion, even where the contrast between the two link colors is below 3:1. Note that authors must continue to ensure that all text links meet contrast minimums against the page background (SC 1.4.3).</p>

 			<p>The intent of this condition is to ensure that the additional content does not interfere with viewing or operating the page's original content. When magnified, the portion of the page visible in the viewport can be significantly reduced. Mouse users frequently move the pointer to pan the magnified viewport and display another portion of the screen. However, almost the entire portion of the page visible in this restricted viewport may trigger the additional content, making it difficult for a user to pan without re-triggering the content. A keyboard means of dismissing the additional content provides a workaround.</p>
