Helen: Issues are being raised in the WCAG/ACT guide we wrote. We've added some FAQ.
... we've had some pushback which is fairly similar to what we see in ACT newcomers.

<Kathy> https://www.w3.org/TR/act-rules-format/#applicability-atomic

Helen: We have the possibility for subjective Applicability. Guidance in the ACT rules format can also help answering questions.
... Applicability of composite rules are also been tricky to explain.

Kathy: do we need to put that in the FAQ?

Helen: I can try and do that.

Kathy: for subgroup struggling with technicalities, we told them to just go with what they can and this can be improve ad made more technical later if needed.

Helen: I said that HTML examples are more "nice to have" than "need to have" as they can be added later.
