Re: editorial content of "benefits"

Hi William,

Thanks for the review & comment. A couple of things:

1. Note from the previous e-mail: "Although we agreed on the content some time ago, it's common to see new things when you look at it again. However, we don't have much time to spend on this now. Therefore, if you have suggestions for content changes, please do send them in and *include an indication of how important you think it is to change*."

2. Keep in mind that projected text should be extremely "terse" and need not stand alone, as it supports what the speaker says.

3. See additional comments below. If you still think changes are needed, please provide suggested changes.

Thanks,
~Shawn

Why should they all be nouns?

"WCAG 2 gives you" is a heading repeated on several slides. It is not intended to be the first part of a sentence for these slides.

(although, personally, I think this one does read right as slide shorthand for the sentence: "WCAG 2 gives you clearer success criteria and it is more precisely testable (although you still need human judgment)."

um, yah, well, it's more like the *concept* (of the SC) is more testable. But I am quite happy to change "is" to "are" here. (as soon as I download it from my backup...)

This is slide shorthand for "WCAG 2.0 is adaptable and flexible for different situations, and for developing technologies and techniques."
