FAST checklist Initial formatting suggestions

Hi,

[+ Shadi on cc]

After discussion with Michael, he asked me to send my thoughts on the 
FAST checklist content to this list. [1]
Please see below - I have a bunch and will send more in separate mails 
but this first round is mainly editorial but could be helpful.

Each of the 'Feature' points should remove the 'If technology allows' 
part it is repetitive - that can be in the explanation - so the table 
can be re-written as follows:

Feature 1: Visual rendering of content

A goal is for the spec to be light weight, understandable - quickly - 
and be usable by people reviewing specs without having a deep knowledge 
of accessibility in the related subject.

A new suggested format for the current checklist (as is):

Feature #1: Visual rendering of content
Feature #2: Provides author control over colour
Feature #3: Provides features to accept user input
Feature #4: Provides user interaction features
Feature #5: Defines document semantics
Feature #6: Provides time-based visual media (see also the Media 
Accessibility Checklist)
Feature #7: Provides Audio ()
Feature #8: Allows Time limits
Feature #9: Allows Text content
Feature #10: Provides content fallback mechanisms, whether text or other 
formats
Feature #11: Provides visual graphics
Feature #12: Provides internationalization support
Feature #13: Provides content directly for end-users
Feature #14: Defines an API
Feature #15: Defines a transmission protocol.
