SLH: E-mail is fine.

SLH: I tried this but I don't think it's clear enough for people who don't know about accessibility and other ways to interact with the computers. I think we'd need to say: "people can interact with them using only the keyboard, or voice input, or using screen readers." but then it could be understood as "using only the keyboard, or using only voice input, or using only screen readers" which isn't right either.

SLH: Done.

SLH: I changed it back to "x" and added: ("x" can be anything; for example, for="park", id="park")

SLH: Fixed.

SLH: I took it out of parenthesis and tweaked it a bit to be a little more clear what the favlet does.

SLH: "and". fixed.

SLH: Right. I saw where you put that in the wiki a while ago. It didn't work for Wayne or me in the English version.

Thanks,
