Comment from Email:

Clear Words Guideline
The guideline for Clear Words makes use of an external tool that uses an undocumented set of rules. Instead of requiring the use of a specific tool, the guideline should be documenting the criteria to be met so people can in turn determine if they are going to buy a tool or add the functionality to tools they currently use.

Thank you for your suggestions. In a future draft of WCAG3 we will clarify that the tool is just a “proof-of-concept” and list the underlying rules so they are transparent and so that better tools can be developed.
