There is confusion relating to why the SC uses "information" rather than "content". While there may have been discussions back in the day when this was first drafted (possibly to make a distinction between "decorative" and "non-decorative" content?), the notes and understanding don't bear out this interpretation. Also, logically - if one of the primary aims of the SC is to help users that are distracted/confused by moving/auto-updating content that happens in parallel to other content ... it makes no difference whether that moving/updating stuff is "decorative" or "non-decorative".

In addition, Note 3 is currently almost unreadable (and grammatically wrong at the end as well: "and in many situations could be misleading to do so"?)

This PR proposed a normative change to the SC text itself and Note 3

Closes #3478
