Re: Make it easy to find the most important thing

I'm +1 to Abi's comments

In general, I think we we still have a bit of ambiguity in our 
documentation about content vs behaviour (ie controls, navigation etc).

This is largely historical, I guess. The web started off as documents 
only and the only behaviours where forms and links. But now of course 
web apps are very common as well with all sorts of behaviours made 
available via buttons and custom controls.

We should be careful to use language that includes both static content 
and behaviours unless we mean to target only one or the other.

What do other groups do to cover this?
