Re: general comments on Framework: Process & Operational

I have looked at the WAI Guidelines and although they have explanation 
included with the Guidelines/ckpoints, the explanation comes directly after 
the Guideline, followed by the list of Ckpoints.  I didn't see anyplace 
where explanation was integrated into the Ckpoints.  The WAI's formatting 
seems to be (which I'm suggesting for us) GUIDELINE, explanation, CKPOINTS.
