Resolution status:

Introduction Paragraph 2:
"This document is intended to help clarify how to use WCAG 2.0"

- Remove the world "help". Either the document does or does not "clarify".

"the needs of people with accessibility requirements due to aging."

- This isn't clearly put. Perhaps "…the needs of people who benefit from accessibility technology due to the effects of aging." or some such.

Intro paragraph 3:
"While WCAG 2.0 was designed to be technology-neutral, it assumes the presence of a “user agent” such as a browser, media player, or assistive technology as a means to access web content."

- You should go on to mention at least some of the other web-specific assumptions (like HTTP) in WCAG 2.0, since they are both directly relevant to the application of WCAG2 to non-web ICT and a proximate cause of confusion over the applicability of WCAG2 to non-web ICT.

"…different contexts of use…"

- Go ahead and say: "non-web technologies".
