<h3>Requirements for WCAG 2.1</h3>
<p>WCAG 2.1 meets a set of <a href="https://w3c.github.io/wcag/requirements/">requirements for WCAG 2.1</a> which, in turn, inherit requirements from WCAG 2.0. Requirements structure the overall framework of guidelines and ensure backwards compatibility. The Working Group also used a less formal set of acceptance criteria for success criteria, to help ensure success criteria are similar in style and quality to those in WCAG 2.0. These requirements constrained what could be included in WCAG 2.1. This constraint was important to preserve its nature as a dot-release of WCAG 2.</p>

It's odd that we've got two similar links that go to different dates of the editors draft:
https://w3c.github.io/wcag/wcag21/requirements/
https://w3c.github.io/wcag21/requirements/

@michael-n-cooper which should be canonical?

The WCAG 2.0 link is https://www.w3.org/TR/wcag2-req/, should it be at https://www.w3.org/TR/wcag21-req/ ?

The version in the w3c/wcag repo is canonical, since the w3c/wcag21 repo is retired. However, that's not to say it's more current. I have on a middle burner to sort out a few folders in the wcag repo, and it might be that I still need to migrate the requirements doc over.
