RE: Could we add "Persona Quotes" as a standard part of the Understanding Documents for WCAG 2.1?

Hi Michael, (and everyone, question at the end)

Just to pick up the conversation after the call, where you said:

> The advantages are obvious: the reader gains an immediate understanding of what they doing (mine) and why (Glenda's), which is often not the case from the SC language.

For consistency with the 2.0 docs I think your suggested summary statements make sense as the first sentence if you pre-pend them with "The intent of this Success Criterion (SC) is to..."

It would be a useful "polishing" exercise once we've got the major drafting & reviews done, I'd rather not interrupt that momentum by making changes across the various branches just yet.

I've added an issue for tracking, all going well, something to tackle next week:
https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/882

As Andrew said, there was general agreement to adding the personas to the understanding documents (perhaps with hesitation about the number of updates involved?).

As Glenda has taken that on (with help), is everyone happy with the location and format suggested? Taking Laura's as example:
https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/text-spacing/understanding/21/text-spacing.html

Something short  & snappy like that seems appropriate, with a consistent format across the docs. Perhaps with one name only, rather than two names associated with one quote?

Cheers,

-Alastair
