Avoiding horizontal scrolling and Reflow Text

Hi UAAG folks,

Please see my remaining comment below.

Previous version had:
"
1.8.7 Reflow Text: The user can specify that text content in a graphical top-level viewport reflows so the text forms a single column that fits within the width of the viewport. (Level A)
Note 1: Reflow applies even when text is rescaled or zoomed.
...
"
Current Editor's Draft has:
"1.8.13 Multi-Column Text Reflow: The user can specify that recognized multi-column text blocks each be reflowed into a single column. (Level AA)
Note: Some layouts may become unusable if author-specified layout is overridden. In this case, the user can turn linearization off and try another strategy. It is recommended that user agents provide a convenient way for the user to turn this behavior on and off.
1.8.14 Ignore Fixed Unit Dimensions: The user can have the user agent override author-specified unit dimensions. (Level AA)
1.8.15 Linearize Content: The user can have recognized content rendered as a single column, overriding author-specified formatting of columns, tables, and positioning. (Level AA)
Note: Some layouts may become unusable if author-specified layout is overridden. In this case, the user can turn linearization off and try another strategy. It is recommended that user agents provide a convenient way for the user to turn this behavior on and off.
"

It seems the idea of "text... fits within the width of the viewport" is missing. Is this supposed to be covered in 1.8.14? If so, can you add that wording, e.g,. "The user can have the user agent override author-specified unit dimensions, so the text fits within the width of the viewport." ?
