<p>WCAG 3.0 therefore defines two ways to scope content: <a>views</a> and <a>processes</a>. Evaluation is done on one or more complete views or processes, and conformance is determined on the basis of one or more complete views or processes. </p>

Should ”view” (alone, in the context of this definition) have the anchor tags? That is, are we to have a definition for ”view” separate from the “view-unit” term. Or should <a>view</a> also be <a>view-unit</a> ?

<dd>Changes in context include changes of:
<ul>
<li>user agent;</li>
<li>viewport;</li>
<li>focus;</li>
<li>content that changes the meaning of the <a>view-unit</a>.</li>

I like the em-dash treatment better than commas, but since this PR includes examples as a the very next sentence — might we drop the em-dash clause entirely?

Hmmm I think it is useful in reading the sentence. But I would put it in parentheses

A change of content is not always a change of context. Changes in content (e.g an expanding outline, dynamic menu, opening a non-modal dialog, or a tab control) do not necessarily change the context.

<p>Example: Opening a new window, opening a modal dialog, going to a new <a>view-unit</a> or significantly re-arranging the <a>content</a> of a <a>view-unit</a> are examples of changes of context.</p>
