Description:
1.3 Scope

Additional Paragraph.

Other examples include \'Error Messages\' and \'Color\' which have a particular
mobile interpretation. This is usually spelled out in the relevant section.

5.2.4.1

Current Text

It is inevitable that, on occasions, a mobile user will not be successful in
accessing the content or information they sought.

Proposed text

It is inevitable that, on occasions, a mobile user will not be successful in
accessing the content or information they sought. Providing easy navigation away
from the error is particularly important in the mobile arena, where browsers may
not have an easy-to-find \'back\' button, where contextualization is frequently
difficult and where re-entry of URLs as a means of error recovery is
particularly onerous.
