Comment:

The last two lines of the test in G123 convey the same thing.

Proposed Change:
Delete list item 5 of the test: "Check that after activating the link, the keyboard focus has moved to the content immediately after the block."

WG Notes: Procedure Check that a link is the last focusable control before the block of repeated content or the first link in the block. Check that the description of the link communicates that it skips the block. Check that the link is either always visible or visible when it has keyboard focus. Check that activating the link moves the focus to the content immediately after the block. Check that after activating the link, the keyboard focus has moved to the content immediately after the block. Expected Results All checks above are true. If this is a sufficient technique for a success criterion, failing this test procedure does not necessarily mean that the success criterion has not been satisfied in some other way, only that this technique has not been successfully implemented and can not be used to claim conformance.

Resolution: Thank you. We have removed item 4 because it is redundant and we believe item 5 is slightly better worded. (It was probably meant to replace 4 and we just made an editing error) ACTION: remove step four from the list of procedures in G123
