William, I see an ocean of difference between telling people to supplement text with graphics than to merely say that content should be presentable "visually". If we move it to Guideline 1 (where I would indeed like to see it), we need to strengthen the concept of visual as meaning both text and graphics, rather than lumping the two as if they were one. People who are inclined to think/use text in lieu of graphics and vice-versa need to know about the importance of both.
