Distinguish requirements that apply at the User Interface, i.e. in the Rendered Content, from requirements that apply at the network interface, i.e. in the Communicated Content.

The latter is defined by how the content is represented as it passes from the author and server's automation to the user's automation.

We may be able to resurrect the notion of a [generic] document object model as a slightly stronger statement of the 4.1 'clean parse' language and tie "programmatically determined" clauses there.

Proposed Change:

Distinguish requirements that apply at the User Interface, i.e. in the Rendered Content, from requirements that apply at the network interface, i.e. in the Communicated Content.

That is to say: Color-coded information must be visually evident in some non-color way (1.3.2) is a requirement that applies at the User Interface (to the rendered content).
