Updates and bug fixes

Success Criterion 1.3.1
- Messages for technique H48 - regarding plain text simulating a ordered or unordered list, that should be marked up - have been rewritten for clarity.
- Also, a couple of bugs were fixed that caused issues at a JavaScript level in certain situations.
Success Criterion 1.4.6
- Hidden (offscreen) text was previously reported as 1:NaN contrast error - this was due to an additional check for downgrading a contrast error to a warning that was in the double-A test (success criterion 1.4.3) but not in the triple-A test of success criterion 1.4.6.
Success Criterion 3.2.2
- Fixed a false-positive in checking whether a form has a submit button, when a form uses a BUTTON element with no “type” attribute. BUTTON elements without a valid “type” attribute actually default to being submit buttons, so this should count as satisfactory.
