The definition of 'user inactivity' contains a sentence that reads as a note, but that sentence isn't marked up as a note.

user inactivity
any continuous period of time where no user actions occur

The method of tracking will be determined by the web site or application.

should instead look like this:

user inactivity
any continuous period of time where no user actions occur

NOTE
The method of tracking will be determined by the web site or application.

The second sentence of the user inactivity glossary item is a note.

@maryjom — My recollection (which might well be incorrect) is that the TF came across some malformed source code which showed that the sentence was meant to be marked up as a NOTE. Do you think I am conflating that with something else? Did WCAG2ICT identify this error just by comparing it to other glossary terms? Thanks!

I have looked through the publishing history of WCAG 2.1, and from that evidence, the error seems to have been introduced almost from the start.

There is this @w3cbot comment

@yatil marked as non substantive for IPR from ash-nazg.

That says to me that WAI staff and review concurred that this is a class 1 editorial change.

@bruce-usab I think this was identified when we were analyzing the definition and determining whether WCAG2ICT needed to provide any guidance or word substitutions.
