Re: proposal for responses to 20 March 2015 Comments - SH01

It may be just me, but I'm again finding it difficult to follow the thread through these nested responses. For example, you say we "decline the second change" and explain "UAWG's opinion is that the need to turn the text style on or off globally is a rare, but necessary use case.  Customizing text on an element level does not require that global ability.  UAWG chose the phrasing deliberately." Which phrasing are you referring to? The explanation seem to imply that she's either asking for global settings to be removed (your first sentence) or local settings to be added (your second); I can't tell which you're declining, but in my reading of her comments I don't see her asking for either. Are you referring to where she quotes bullet items for 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 and asked "Should these be the same or is there a reason that they are different?" I read that as merely questioning why the wordings differed, with the implied suggestion that we normalize them if the difference was 
unintentional, rather than suggesting we remove any requirements. (Those are in her second "SLH" response to your first response to her SH01, showing how confusing these nested responses get.) My apologies if I'm totally misreading this.

     Thanks,
     Greg
