Addition of a section on native HTML error validation, addressing to some extent the issues #961 and #1773 and maybe other issues.
This is mainly to start / a first stab at updating this dated understanding text. Currently there are a couple of notes strewn in, one on rectification on user input, and another note saying that there can be different techniques to display the error in text, including rather dated techniques like Javascript alerts.

The pertinent question whether (and under what conditions) native HTML form validation can be deemed sufficient to meet 3.3.1 is not touched upon in the current understanding text. While it will be difficult to draw a definite line like "on forms with three fields or less native HTML validation can be considered sufficient", it seem necessary to address the disadvantages and maybe also the benefits of native HTML validation.

Other issues that remain to be worked into a revision are, for example, correcting the inclusion of ARIA Techniques as "sufficient" as noted in #4029 and perhaps in general, and possibly adding advice regarding the combination of available techniques (e.g., to warn against overdoing it with programmatic linking of inline error messages plus aria-live regions).
