comment on WACEM 1.0 -- use of internal links

I'd like to commend the Evaluation Task Force on the development of 
the 20 September working draft of Web Site Accessibility Conformance 
Evaluation Methodology 1.0. This document will offer a useful overall 
framework for a range of audiences who are committed to making the 
Web more accessible.

In order to make the document easier to read, I recommend lessening 
the number of "within page" links. As a point of interest, my screen 
reader reports that this version of the document has 648 links.

I think too many links are visually distracting, and they certainly 
disrupt the audio reading flow when using a screen reader. As 
examples, I would mention "in page" links to terms such as "web site" 
and "web sites."  I recommend linking to a term one time, at the 
beginning of each new section.

Thank you for considering this comment.

Best,
Jennifer
