Re: Concurrent Input Mechanisms

I prefer the second one for readability:
Web content does not restrict use of input modalities available on a 
platform unless it would jeopardize the security of the content, 
invalidate an activity, or override a user setting.

Kathy,
Another tweak, but when I read this it sounds like it is trying to avoid 
restricting the modalities available on a platform instead of avoiding 
restricting use of available modalities.
 
Web content does not restrict user input modalities available on a 
platform unless it would jeopardize the security of the content, 
invalidate an activity, or override a user setting.
 
How about:
Web content does not restrict use of available input modalities on a 
platform unless it would jeopardize the security of the content, 
invalidate an activity, or override a user setting.
Or
Web content does not restrict use of input modalities available on a 
platform unless it would jeopardize the security of the content, 
invalidate an activity, or override a user setting.
