Review ‘Drafted’ items

Move back to In progress (with more work to do), or move to Ready for approval (if there is general agreement the issue is sufficiently resolved), or leave in Drafted (if discussion was not concluded satisfactorily).

Re-apply #3939 cleanly against the latest content on main #4042. Ken noted he had to resolve some merge conflict. If anyone happens to note merge conflicts with PRs from Ken, please ping Ken on those. In our repo, this sort of work is labeled as a Bug Fixes and merged after WAI staff or AG co-chair review. This is consistent with W3C Process Document and TR classes of correction for changes which "include fixing broken links, style sheets, or invalid markup."

just capitalization fix #3154 is an editorial correction from SLH for 4.1.1 Parsing under 2.1 (not 2.2). Also a Bug Fix, and Ken is still smoothing out the build process for 2.1 from the repo.

Change on Request update for issue #738 #754 resolves older issue 3.2.5: Change on Request Understanding update #738 providing clarification regarding the benefit of the SC. We made a minor tweak on call. Moved to Ready for approval.

Add note about the scope of 1.4.5 Images of Text (images used rather than text) and example #4021 been working on. TF has worked on this on a few calls. Giacomo initiated this one and is okay with where we are. Moved to Ready for approval.

WCAG Example suggests "blurring" does not affect animation triggering vestibular motion perception (but it can) #3949 removing blurring from example list in Understand. Double negative phrasing is also problematic. Including "blur" in example list of things which might be okay does not mean every use of blur is permitted. Ken noted that one could even argue that changes of color can also create impression of movement (anyone with prescription lenses can attest when looking at red vs. blue side by side). Closing phrase -- as-is -- precludes using blur to imitate motion, but that is a bit subtle. This is a normative change, so it will get close attention. Amend definition of motion animation to not exclude blurring #4040 addresses and closes the issue. Moved to Ready for approval.

Add explanation of what "automatic" means in 2.2.2 and 1.4.2, cross-reference #4012 reviewed and moved to Ready for approval.

Add more information/links to HTML-related obsolete messages #4027 Kens edit's proactively applies changes responsive to request Bruce made on similar page. Also lead to a side discussion about apparent an ID bug with HTML spec. Ken doublechecked PR, and I ultimately did find a unique ID (in a different format than others). Moved to Ready for approval.

Update ARIA11 to address issue #1308 #2339 reviewed. Scott opened Review/clarify content of ARIA11 #4050 for additions he suggested. Moved to Ready for approval.

SC 1.3.5: Identify Input Purpose and Multi-factor authentication (MFA). #3977 is Response only. TF discussion that security folks tend to flag concern for copy/paste -- but that concern should be addressed clearing the browser cache. Gundula replied for the group. Moved to Ready for approval.

update Target Size Minimum to add scrollbar example #3966 relates to issue asking about applying SC to content versus the scroll bar element. Reviewed and we made minor edit on call and caught spelling typo. Nice example of using SVG for illustrations! Moved to Ready for approval.

Remove ActiveX example #4008 reviewed and moved to Ready for approval.

Remove all Silverlight working examples #3969 reviewed and moved to Ready for approval.
