Style changes to normative documents made to ensure consistency as part of the republishing of WCAG 2.2 - Ensures all normative occurrences of "web page" are two words and lower case. - Ensures all normative occurrences of "website" are a single word, not capitalized. - Ensures all normative occurrences of "success criterion/criteria" that do not specify SCs by name, are lower case - Ensures all normative occurrences of "web content" and other uses of "web" are lower case  *** <a href="https://pr-preview.s3.amazonaws.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4080.html" title="Last updated on Oct 4, 2024, 3:14 PM UTC (571cf14)">Preview</a> | <a href="https://pr-preview.s3.amazonaws.com/w3c/wcag/4080/bf4b123...571cf14.html" title="Last updated on Oct 4, 2024, 3:14 PM UTC (571cf14)">Diff</a> --------- Co-authored-by: Alastair Campbell <ac@alastc.com> (cherry picked from commit a2c3cb3)
