Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change):

Under item 2, consider using "task" rather than "process", especially if my comment on "tasks and processes" is accepted. It is important to use the same word for the same purpose consistently throughout the document.

Proposed Change:

"next step in the task" rather than "in the process".; Related issues: 496
(space separated ids); WG Notes: [TEAMC] Discussed at Team C call 30 May 2006 http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/05/30-wcag-teamc-minutes#item01 Team C feels that "process" is a better term than "task". From Webster's online dictionary, task: a usually assigned piece of work often to be finished within a certain time process: a series of actions or operations conducing to an end We agree though that WCAG should use the term consistently and therefore recommend to Team B that they consider deleting the phrase "or task" from SC 2.4.2. <proposal> {not-accept} The working group agrees that WCAG should be consistent in our use of terms, however, we think that "process" is more appropriate than "task" in this case. </proposal> resolution: accept proposed resolutions for 498, 499, 559, 560 http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2006/06/01-wai-wcag-minutes.html; Resolution: The working group agrees that WCAG should be consistent in our use of terms. However, we think that "process" is more appropriate than "task" in this case.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
