A change in content is not always a change in contextâ€¦: I would argue that a change in content is always a change in context. How do screen readers or magnifiers deal with expanding menus etc?

Proposed Change:

Clarify or rewrite SC; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMB] Discussed in the 14 September 2006 telecon: Resolution: accept Issue LC-581, Issue LC-606, and Issue LC-1128 as ammended (changing one of the duplicate uses of context back to content) http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/09/14-wai-wcag-minutes.html {accept} SEE ACTIONS FOR LC-395 Response: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007Jul/0057.html; Resolution: A change in content that occurs because the user has requested a different view of the current content is not considered a change of context. However, it is necessary for assistive technology to be informed of the change. SC 4.1.2 has been changed to include state and properties among the information that must be programmatically determined and for which notifications of changes must be available to assistive technology. 4.1.2 Name-Role-Value: For all user interface components, the name and role can be programmatically determined, states, properties, and values that can be set by the user can be programmatically determined and programmatically set, and notification of changes to these items is available to user agents, including assistive technologies.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
