Update FAQ to address new SC in non-Web content

#752 asks whether the WCAG 2.1 SC have been reviewed for applicability to non-web content. The WG agreed to address this question in the FAQ. Raising this issue to track separately from the CR comment process.

Given the (background) work on WCAG2ICT, can this be closed?

Following up on this. The WCAG2ICT FAQ page states this:

"Note: WCAG2ICT is still relevant for later versions of WCAG 2. For example, WCAG 2.1 does not change the requirements of WCAG 2.0 that are addressed in WCAG2ICT; WCAG 2.1 adds additional requirements. W3C may update WCAG2ICT in the future to add the additional requirements from later versions of WCAG 2."

Is that content enough to close this issue?

well, there's the underlying problem that WCAG2ICT should have been updated to cover the "new" 2.1 SCs, but hasn't ... but as I don't see any movement on that any time soon (and of course then then new upcoming 2.2 SCs) ...

@patrickhlauke might want to take a peek at today's WG agenda... :)

Putting aside the lack of momentum on WCAG2ICT and today's agenda, the original comment was that the WG had agreed to address WCAG 2.1 in the WCAG FAQs, which seems to have been done. I've made an issue in the WAI Intro To WCAG repo to update that reference to WCAG 2.2 when it becomes a recommendation.

agenda items are one thing. seeing it actually updated is another...

[alastc]

@patrickhlauke it is in the proposed charter as well, momentum is gathering.

Regardless of that, it looks like this isn't something we solve in WCAG anyway and Francis has raised it in the appropriate repo, so I'll close this.
