Second para, second sentence, under 'Intent of this Success Criterion'
reads "For example, certain technologies can specify that the user's input
must not fall outside a specific range, or that a form field is required.
Currently, few technologies support this kind of programmatic information,
but the Success Criterion does not require, nor prevent it."
I think there are the issues with the statement quoted above.
1. "Certain technologies" is not clear. Does it mean ARIA, title
attributes, etc.?
2. "Few technologies" is not clear either.
3. "but the Success Criterion does not require, nor prevent it" does not
sound correct grammatically and would be better served using neither / nor.

WG Notes: Actually, I think it is fine in general, but there are some improvements.

Resolution: Thank you for your comment Darvashi We have amended the two sentences as follows. @@For example, certain technologies, such as JavaScript, HTML5 etc., can specify that the user's input must not fall outside a specific range, or that a form field is required. These types of error checking supports can be helpful, but the Success Criterion neither requires nor prevents their use. The Success Criteria does require however, that errors that are determined programmatically through such means, are provided to the user in text."
