The note should be removed for 'satisfies a success criterion'

[mitchellevan]

Currently

The glossary definition of 'satisfies a success criterion' has this note:

Though WCAG2ICT and WCAG 2 don't use this exact phrase, in this document there are variations of the phrase that use this definition. See "success criteria is satisfied" in Section 6 Comments on Conformance and "satisfy any success criterion" in the notes for the definition of set of software programs.

Issue: It's splitting hairs to say the documents don't use the exact phrase. Without a special note, other definitions are understood to apply even if the match is not exact, such as "programmatically determined" and "programmatically determinable"; "purely decorative" and "pure decoration".

Issue: The two instances mentioned both link to the definition, so there's no need to say it applies there.

Issue: We now have more uses of the term.

• "satisfy this success criterion" in an added note for 1.4.10 Reflow
• "satisfy the success criterion" in an added note for 2.1.1 Keyboard
• "this success criterion would be satisfied" in an added note for 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap
• "satisfy this criterion" in a WCAG note for 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication
• "This success criterion would be satisfied" in an added note for 4.1.1 Parsing
• (name of SC) "would be satisfied" in an added example for 4.1.1 Parsing
• "satisfy the success criterion" in an added note for the definition of 'keyboard interface'
• In 'problematic for closed functionality':
  • "the success criterion would be satisfied" for 1.4.10 Reflow
  • "satisfy this success criterion" for 2.1.1 Keyboard
  • "this success criterion would be satisfied" for 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap
  • "this success criterion is satisfied" for 2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts
  • "this success criterion would be satisfied" for 2.4.7 Focus Visible

Proposed

Remove the added note from the glossary definition of 'satisfies a success criterion'.

I agree the note is splitting hairs. I think it a little better to have something. Maybe delete the leading "Though WCAG2ICT and WCAG 2 don't use this exact phrase"? Or just affirm that the concept and term is appropriate for WCAG2ICT?

The TF made a resolution to remove the note in the 11 July meeting. This is implemented in PR #440 and will be merged once the PR is reviewed by the editors.
