With thanks to John and Cynthia for completing this action item so expeditiously, my comments appear below. John M Slatin writes: > > 1.

I agree with Gregg: this is better than the original wording, putting aside the question of whether checkpoint 4.2 should be included in the guidelines at all, which I acknowledge remains an open issue. I assume you intend "some" in the above proposal to mean "at least one". Is this potentially ambiguous? Should it be clarified, for example by saying "at least one of these technologies" or "one or more of these technologies"? Whoever interprets "some" as meaning "more than one" will argue that content for which there is only one such technology, i.e., a technology the non-availability of which does not cause the content to become inoperable, doesn't meet the success criterion.
