Information about the user's location within a set of Web pages is available.

Applying SC 2.4.8 Location to Non-Web Documents and Software

This applies directly as written, and as described in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 2.4.8, replacing “set of Web pages” with “set of documents” or "set of software programs".

With these substitutions, it would read:

(for non-web documents) Information about the user's location within a set of documents is available.

(for software programs) Information about the user's location within a set of software programs is available.

NOTE 1 (Added) See set of documents and set of software programs in the Key Terms section to determine when a group of documents or software programs is considered a set for this success criterion. (Sets of software that meet this definition appear to be extremely rare.) Those implementing this document (WCAG2ICT) will need to consider if this success criterion is appropriate to apply to non-web documents and software. See the Interpretation of Web Terminology in a Non-web Context.

Note 2 (Added) See also the Comments on Closed Functionality.

SC Problematic for Closed Functionality

Add a bullet for this SC:

@@ TBD content for this to be worked on.

For WCAG2ICT consideration:

Is the word substitution correct and consistent with similar "sets of" cases?
Are there additional notes needed for this SC in the general guidance?
Assuming something would need to be added to the SC Problematic for Closed Functionality section; what should the bullet say? Need to ensure whatever we add is consistent with other "sets of" SCs.
