I think one other issus in authoring tools is orientation. How does the user know what options are currently available? For example: 1. Are they editing an element, attribue or content? 2. Where are they in the document tree? 3. I think there are some more, but these are the ones I came to mind off the top of my head. I don't see this issue mentioned in the guidelines, but I think some type of mention of this issue is important. I would recommend adding a guideline or some checkpoints related to "Allow users with disabilities to remain oriented to the authoring tool functions and document they are editing".
