When we reviewed the new wording of the WCAG 2.0 provisions that we have
already agreed to include in our recommendation, we missed the one on link
purpose.

The provision wording from WCAG 2.0 that we already agreed to is:

The purpose of each link shall be capable of being determined from the link
text and its programmatically determinable link context.

The latest WCAG 2.0 wording is:

The purpose of each link can be determined from the link text and its
programmatically determined link context.

Any objections to adopting the new WCAG 2.0 wording?
